[QUOTE="daveg, post: 182551, member: 15685"] [B][I]"Unfortunately I'm not able to provide an exhaustive list of what features of what cameras are supported by what software, but considering these sort of adjustments are really post-capture adjustments anyway, they don't provide an adjustment you couldn't otherwise achieve on your own.

[/I][/B] Here's a list of the In-Camera features which are recognised and applied when a NEF is opened in CNX2: [U][B]White Balance[/B][/U] - The actual Kelvin figure is only displayed when one of the in-camera presets is used. If Auto 1 or 2 are used in camera then this is what is displayed. There are options for resetting the WB to the usual Incandescent, Daylight, Fluorescent, Flash etc with sliders to make adjustments to each. There is also a "Set Gray Point" option using Single Point or marquee sampling. [U][B]Picture Control[/B][/U] - Any in-camera adjustments to Sharpening, Contrast, BrightnessSaturation and Hue are recognised and applied when a NEF is opened. The in camera settings cannot however be adjusted in software. To adjust in software the appropriate PC is opened and adjusted from there. If an older NEF from a camera such as a D70 or a D200 the user is offered the choice of Non-Picture Control (Colour Mode; Sharpening;Tone Compensation;Saturation and Hue) or the NEF can be processed using the newer Picture Controls. My preference is for the newer Picture Controls with older NEFs. Newer PC NEFs cannot be processed with the older Non-Picture Controls. [U][B]Noise Reduction[/B][/U] - The in-camera settings for Noise Control are recognised and applied in CNX2. They can be adjusted or turned off in software. CNX2 offers three alternatives - Faster, Better Quality and Better Quality 2012 (the best). [U][B]Active D-Lighting[/B][/U] - If applied in-Camera ADL can be adjusted or turned off in CNX2. [U][B]Camera and Lens Corrections[/B][/U] - The in-camera settings which are recognised and set are: [U][B] Auto Lens Distortion[/B][/U] - If turned on in-camera this is recognised and applied in CNX2 - the settings are Automatic or Off. If this feature is turned off in camera then the Automatic setting turns on the latest Distortion Control for the lens used providing that the CNX2 software is kept up to date. [U][B] Vignette[/B][/U] - If turned on in Camera Vignetting is recognised in CNX2. If turned off in cmaera it can be applied in CNX2. [U][B]Image Dust Off[/B][/U] - an Image Dust Off "reading" is taken in-camera and can be applied in CNX2 to to offset the effect of those nasty dust-bunnies. In short, most of the things that are set in-camera and have an effect on the image that you see in the LCD are recognised and applied to the NEF automatically in CNX2.
