Collaboration with Nikon's

exclusive software

Another aspect unique to the Picture Control

System is its collaboration with ViewNX

and Capture NX software via Picture Control

Utility. Importing and exporting Custom

Picture Control parameters between your

Nikon D-SLR and software further expands

creative flexibility. You can apply Picture

Control settings defined in the D3 to Capture

NX post-production work. Picture Control

parameters minutely defined on a personal

computer can then be applied to the D3. You

can even trade your favorite Custom Picture

Controls with colleagues for enhanced

potential and productivity.
