Image parameters (contd.)

Sharpness

The A700's default sharpness setting of zero is just enough to deliver good detail but not so much as to introduce any noticeable sharpening artifacts. Obviously if you prefer your images a bit crisper straight out of the camera you could opt for the +1 or +2 setting.

Sharpness: -3
Sharpness: -2
Sharpness: -1
Sharpness: 0 (Default)
Sharpness: +1
Sharpness: +2
Sharpness: +3

Saturation adjustment

Saturation adjustment allows you to control the strength of color in the final image. As you can see the A700's default color saturation (level zero) already delivers fairly punchy colors, for a more neutral response we'd recommend dropping down to -1.
