Custom Setting 24: Tone Compensation
As photographs are saved to the memory card, the camera
adjusts tones in the image to optimize contrast. This adjust-
ment is performed by means of tone curves that define the
relationship between the tone distribution in the original im-
age and the compensated result. Using Custom Setting 24,
you can select a curve suited to the subject and the device on
which the image will be printed or displayed.

When matrix metering is selected, the camera au-
tomatically optimizes contrast by selecting a curve
equivalent to “Normal,” “Less Contrast,” or “More
Contrast.” When another metering method is se-
lected, this option is equivalent to Normal.
Auto
(default)
A standard curve is used. This curve is suitable for
most scenes, ranging from dark through to bright.
Normal
Use this curve to achieve a softer image, for ex-
ample, with portraits shot in direct sunlight, when
your subject’s features would otherwise tend to be
“washed out.”
Less contrast
This curve enhances detail, making it suited to misty
landscape shots and other low-contrast subjects.
More contrast
A user-defined curve downloaded to the camera
from Nikon Capture 2 is used. If no curve has been
downloaded to the camera, this option is equivalent
to Normal.
