Image Quality and Size Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card. Image Quality and Size Large file size JPEG Fine :c ~. ::::T A 3" I:» u:::a .
Image Quality Controls used The camera supports the following image quality options (listed in descending order by image quality and file size): Option Format RAW NEF Description Compressed raw data from the image sensor are saved directly to memory card. Choose for images that will be retouched on a computer. Images are compressed less than NORM, producing higher-quality images. Compression ratio: roughly 1:4. FINE NORM JPEG (default) BASIC Best choice in most situations.
D NEF (RAW)/RAW+B Capture NX (available separately; ~ 103) or the supplied PictureProject software are required to view NEF (RAW) images on a computer.

Using the Built-in Flash • The camera supports a variety of flash modes for photographing poorly lit or backlit subjects. The flash modes available depend on the mode selected with the mode dial; note that the flash can not be used in ~,\1), or ~ mode. The default flash setting for Digital VariProgram modes is automatically restored when the mode dial is rotated to a new setting or the camera is turned off. Using the Built-in Flash: A~, :i, .~, ~ and ~ Modes 1 Rotate the mode dial to A~, :i, .~, ~, or~.

ra The Built-in Flash Use with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18- 300 mm or non-CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18200mm (~97-98). Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. Lenses that block the subject's view of the AF-assist lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction. The flash has a minimum range of 60cm (2ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. If the flash fires in continuous shooting mode (~ 32), only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
ISO Sensitivity (gontrols useH Photographs taken at slow shutter speeds are prone to blurring. If ISO sensitivity is raised above the base setting of ISO 200 equivalent, the same exposures can be achieved at faster shutter speeds, preventing blur. ISO sensitivity can be set to values between ISO 200 and ISO 1600 in steps of 1EV, with a further high sensitivity setting of HI 1 available for an ISO equivalent of roughly 3200.
Controls used: ~ button + CI button Two-Button Reset The camera settings listed below can be restored to default values by holding the ~ and CI buttons down together for more than two seconds (these buttons are marked by a green dot). The monitor turns off briefly while settings are reset. Custom Settings are not affected.
P, S, A, andMMod s P, 5, A, and M modes offer control over a variety of advanced settings, including exposure ( 45), white balance, and image optimization. Each of these modes offers a different degree of control over shutter speed and aperture: Mode Description p Programmed auto m40) A Camera sets shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure. Recommended for snapshots and in other situations in which there is little time to adjust camera settings.
Mode P(Programmed Auto) In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and aperture. To take photographs in programmed auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to P. 2 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
Mode S(Shutter-Priority Auto) In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed from values between 30s and1,4,ooos while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, high shutter speeds to "freeze" motion. To take photographs in shutter-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to S.
Mode A(Aperture-Priority Auto) In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture from values between the minimum and maximum for the lens while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f/-numbers) soften background details. To take photographs in aperture-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to A.
Mode M(Manual) In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30s and 1/4,ooos, or the shutter can be held open for indefinitely for longer exposures (bu L b). Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and maximum values for the lens. To take photographs in manual exposure mode: 1 Rotate the mode dial to M. 2 Rotate the command dial to choose a shutter speed (see the illustration at left, below).
Long Time-Exposures ll Shutter speeds of "bulb and "__ can be used for long time-exposure photographs of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. To prevent blurring caused by camera shake, use a tripod or an optional remote control (~33, 103). 11 Shutter speed Description bulb Shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is held down. Optional remote control required.
Exposure _ Metering €ontrols used The metering method determines how the camera sets exposure. The following options are available when the mode dial is rotated to p, 5, A, or M (matrix metering is used in other modes): Method Description II Matrix Recommended in most situations. Camera meters. a wide area of the frame and instantly sets exposure according to distribution of brightness, color, distance, and composition for natural results.
Autoexposure Lock AE-LIAF-L button If the subject is not in the metered area when center-weighted or spot metering is used, exposure will be based on lighting conditions in the background and the main subject may not be correctly exposed. This can be prevented by using autoexposure lock. 1 Select mode P, 5, or Aand choose center-weighted or spot metering (exposure lock has no effect in mode M).
Exposure Compensation €ontrols used Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure by up to ±5 EV in increments of 1/3 EV, making pictures brighter or darker. It is available only in P, S, A, and M modes and is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering (~45). As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background, negative values when the main subject is brighter than the background.
Flash Compensation Controls usetl Flash compensation (available only in P, 5, A, and M modes) is used to alter flash output by from -3 EV to + 1 EV in increments of '/3EV, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. Flash compensation is shown in the shooting information display. Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±O.
White Balance Controls used White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources; if necessary, other values can be selected according to the type of source. The following options are available in P, S, A, and M modes (Auto is automatically selected in Digital Vari-Program modes): Option Description Auto Camera sets white balance automatically. Recommended for most situations.
