Nikon D90 User Manual

Picture Controls
Nikon's unique Picture Control system makes it possible to share image processing
settings among compatible devices and software. Select from
the Picture Controls
provided
with the camera to instantly adjust image processing settings, or make
independent adjustments
to sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation, and hue.
These settings can be saved under new names
as custom Picture Controls to be
recalled or edited at will. Custom Picture Controls can also be saved
to the memory
card for
use in compatible software, and software-created Picture Controls can be
loaded
into the camera. Any given set of Picture Controls will produce nearly the
same results on all cameras
that support the Nikon Picture Control system.

the Nikon Picture Controls supplied with the camera, optional Picture Controls are available for
download from Nikon websites.
Custom Picture Controls are created through modifications to
existing Nikon Picture Controls. Both Nikon and custom Picture Controls can be shared among
compatible devices and software.
