This is one of Nikon's pages on picture controls.

I ran through a number of shots switching picture controls and I could not get a properly exposed shot to "blow out highlights."

j_photo - Can you share the documentation on picture controls affecting how the camera adjusts exposure? For the life of me I can't find it.

Regarding auto exposure, I think you are right--I guess I got a bit carried away with that statement. I just tried some quick simple tests and I'm not seeing real changes in metering with different picture controls.

Well it was helpfull in that it sent me searching and I found that Thom is of the opinion that picture controls affect autofocus acquisition. This I did not know - even though it is a well grounded, evidence based belief.
