Making Edges More Distinct: Image Sharpening - Nikon COOLPIX 5700 Manual

Making Edges More Distinct: Image Sharpening

This option controls whether pictures are processed for
increased sharpness, and to what degree. Because this
processing takes place only as the pictures are being
saved to the memory card, the effects of sharpening
can not be previewed in the monitor or viewfinder
before shooting. In User Sets 1, 2, and 3, you can use
the menu options shown below to control sharpening;
in User Set A, Auto is the only setting.
