Vignette control on Nikon D3

On my D3, on the 'Shooting' menu the last item is "Vignette control". I
can't find this mentioned anywhere in the manual. Either in the book
provided with the camera, or on the PDF I downloaded.

I assume it might be something that was been added in firmware released
after the manual was printed. In my camera, the firmware versions
reported are

A 2.00
B 2.00

Does anyone know anything about this? The choices are off, low, medium
and high. I could take a guess at what it might do, but I don't know for
sure.

Please use an appropriate newsgroup for postings on digital cameras. One

It might well be off topic for your group, but your description of DSLRs
really shows your own prejudice.

You are perfectly entitled not to like Digital SLRs, but in spite of that
they really are SLRs, and don't just look like SLRs.

Please amend your "Off Topic" response by removing your Snotty sounding Put
Down.

The "Put Down", as you call it, is all in your imagination. I simply
pointed out that DSLRs look like 35mm film cameras, which they do, in a
gross kind of way (same general size and shape).

It's got nothing to do with liking or not liking digital or film
cameras: it's keeping apples with apples, and oranges with oranges.

There goes your prejudice again - "Gross kind of a way".

When you must know, that they are exactly like 35mm Film SLRs, (other than
the recording medium), because they are SLRs.

The only external difference is that DSLRs have an LCD for instant reviewing
of images on the rear, where Film SLRs have a little frame for inserting
Film Box Ends.

Do try to control your intemperance.

**** OFF, David Nazi-zahl!

Would it be on topic to discuss a 35mm film camera that had a digital
back on it?

That's an interesting question. Considering how anarchistic Usenet is,
and how discussions regularly drift off-topic, I'd have to say yes. It's
not a matter of anally enforcing rules according to some charter, after
all. Common sense.

By the way, is there such a thing?
