TUTORIAL—TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS

—Adjusting Camera Settings

This section describes how to take a photograph using single-frame mode, single-

servo autofocus, matrix metering, programmed auto-exposure, a sensitivity (ISO

equivalency) setting of 125, a normal image quality setting, and auto white balance.

The description below assumes that you are using a type G or D AF-Nikkor lens.

These settings will produce optimal results in most situations, with no delay between

exposures to adjust camera settings for the next shot. To use these settings, adjust

camera controls as shown in the following steps. More information on the settings

described here is available on the pages listed below.

.1 Choose an operating mode ( pp. 52–55)

Hold the mode-dial lock release down and turn

the mode dial to S (single-frame mode). In this

mode, the camera will take a single photograph each

time the shutter-release button is pressed.

STEP 1

.2 Choose an image quality and format ( pp. 56–61)

This section describes how to take large color photographs at an image qual-

ity of JPEG Normal, which provides the best trade-off between file size and

image quality.

The Assign FUNC Menu ( pg. 116)

When Qual is selected in the Assign FUNC menu, image quality can be adjusted using the
