Shooting, Playback and Setup Menus Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu The shooting menu of P and M modes, and high-sensitivity menu of highsensitivity shooting mode, contain the following options. q Image quality1 A 76 Choose the image quality (compression ratio) of recorded pictures. r Image size1, 3 A 77 Choose the image size of recorded pictures. F Optimize image3 A 79 Control contrast, sharpness, and saturation. B White balance3 A 81 Match white balance to the light source.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu Displaying the Shooting Menu and High-sensitivity Menu Choose P (programmed auto), M (manual), or B (high sensitivity) by rotating the mode dial. Press d to display the shooting menu or high-sensitivity menu. Shooting menu Image quality Image size Optimize image White balance ISO sensitivity Exit • The high sensitivity menu is displayed when B is selected by the mode dial.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu r Image Size Choose the size of pictures in pixels for recording. Pictures taken at smaller sizes require less memory, making them suited to distribution by e-mail or the web. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu C Number of Exposures Remaining The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory, and on a 256-MB memory card, at each combination of image quality (A 76) and image size (A 77) settings. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression).
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu F Optimize Image Optimize contrast, sharpening, and other settings according to how pictures will be used or the type of scene. g Normal (default setting) Recommended in most situations. h Softer Softens outlines, producing natural results suitable for portraits or retouching on a computer. o Vivid Enhances saturation, contrast, and sharpness to produce vivid images with vibrant reds and greens.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu Customizing Image Enhancement Options: Custom Select Custom to make separate adjustments to the following options. Custom Contrast Image sharpening Saturation Exit Contrast Control contrast. Higher settings preserve detail in misty landscapes and other low-contrast subjects. Lower settings prevent loss of detail in highlights under harsh lighting or in direct sunlight. The default setting is Auto.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu B White Balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu Preset Manual Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). 1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. 2 Use the multi selector to choose b Preset manual in the white balance menu, and press k. The camera zooms in. 3 Choose Measure.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu E ISO Sensitivity Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating is suited for shooting subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu G Metering Choose how the camera meters exposure. G Matrix (default setting) Camera sets exposure for entire frame. Recommended in most situations. q Center-weighted Camera meters entire frame but assigns greatest weight to subject in center of frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting conditions at center of frame determine exposure. Can be used with focus lock (A 25) to meter off-center subjects.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu C Continuous Capture motion in a series of pictures and apply Best Shot Selector (BSS). When a setting other than Single is selected, the flash will be disabled, and focus, exposure and white balance are fixed at the values for the first picture in each series. U V j At settings other than Single, the indicator for the current setting is displayed (A 6).
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu G AF Area Mode Use this option to determine where the camera focuses. When digital zoom is in effect, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area regardless of the applied AF area mode option. z Face priority (default setting) The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the camera (Shooting with Face-Priority → A 87). If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the camera.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu y Center Camera focuses on subject in center of frame. Center focus area is used. Focus area Shooting with Face-Priority When Face priority is selected for AF area mode, or the Portrait scene mode or Night portrait scene mode is selected during shooting, the face-priority function will be applied. The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the camera. 1 Frame the picture.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu B Face-Priority • When Face priority is selected for AF area mode, the setting will automatically switch to Auto if no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. • If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night portrait scene mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu J Flash Exp. Comp. Flash compensation is used to adjust flash output, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. -0.3 - -2.0 Flash output is reduced from -0.3 to -2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. 0.0 Flash output is not adjusted. +0.3 - +2.0 Flash output is increased from +0.3 to +2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to make the main subject of the frame appear brighter. At settings other than 0.

Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device: B Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. B Do Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. B Handle the Lens and all Moving Parts with Care Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, electronic viewfinder, memory card slot or battery chamber.
Caring for the Camera C Batteries • Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 20). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions. • Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
Caring for the Camera Cleaning Lens/ electronic viewfinder Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges.
