Lower sharpening on the A610

Looking through the manual I found in the photo effects settings a low
sharpening setting. I looked through the manual when I got the camera last
year, but missed that one. Up until now, I thought I had no in camera
control over sharpening. Taking a couple shots of the same subject, I find
the LS setting does not harm resolution one bit, but just cuts back on the
ugly sharpening halos. To me, this makes the images look more natural. This
with 2/3 under exposure dialed in, I have the camera taking great pictures
now.

Thanks for the info.
I'll check that on my wife's 610 (not that she would care one wit...).

I shot some scenics today and I notice less halo around tree branches.
Sharpening done right can look nice, but the radius needed to sharpen images
from Bayer sensors cause a video like appearance if it is too heavy handed.
Sharpening of this type does not actually add resolution to the image
anyway.

On my Digital Rebel, The default sharpening was also a bit aggressive, so I
set my own parameter with sharpness kept flat. I'd go even lower but the kit
lens, not being so sharp, helped keep the halos down : )
