E30 Reference Section The Shooting Menu (for A (Auto) Mode, Continuous Shooting Mode) •See “Changing the Image Size (Image Mode)” (A71) for information about Image mode. •Other than the Continuous (E35), items share the same settings with A (auto) mode and continuous shooting mode, and the settings are saved in the camera’s memory even if the camera is turned off. •Continuous can be selected only when using continuous shooting mode. White Balance (Adjusting Hue) 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.” For natural colors, select a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the white balance setting suited to a particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results. The current white balance setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A6). No icon is displayed when Auto is selected. Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M White balance OptionDescription aAuto (default setting)White balance is automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. bPreset manualUseful when shooting under unusual lighting. See “Using Preset Manual” for more information (E32). cDaylightWhite balance adjusted for direct sunlight. dIncandescentUse under incandescent lighting. eFluorescentUse under fluorescent lighting. fCloudyUse when taking pictures under overcast skies. gFlashUse with the flash.

E32 The Shooting Menu (for A (Auto) Mode, Continuous Shooting Mode) Reference Section Using Preset Manual Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used during shooting. 1Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. 2Display the shooting menu (A11, 37), use the multi selector to select bPreset manual in the White balance menu, and press the k button. •The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white balance. 3Select Measure. •To apply the most recently measured white balance value, select Cancel and press the k button. The white balance setting will not be measured again and the most recently measured value will be set. 4Frame the reference object in the measuring window. 5Press the k button to measure a value for preset manual. •The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set. No image is saved.

E33 The Shooting Menu (for A (Auto) Mode, Continuous Shooting Mode) Reference Section Metering The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine exposure is known as metering. Select how the camera meters exposure. Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M Metering OptionDescription GMatrix (default setting)Uses a wide area of the screen for metering. This metering mode provides the appropriate exposure for a variety of shooting conditions. Recommended in most situations. qCenter-weightedThe camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to the subject in the center of the frame. Classic meter for portraits; preserves background details while letting lighting conditions in the center of the frame determine exposure. Can be used with focus lock (A78) to meter off-center subjects. BNotes About Metering While digital zoom is in effect, metering is set to center-weighted metering. The active metering area is not displayed. CMetering Area The active metering area is displayed in the monitor when Center-weighted is selected for Metering. 840840 29m 0s29m 0sActive metering area Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
E34 The Shooting Menu (for A (Auto) Mode, Continuous Shooting Mode) Reference Section ISO Sensitivity When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures. Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. •Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, when shooting without the flash, when shooting with the camera zoomed in, etc., images may contain noise. The current ISO sensitivity setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A6). •When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 100, but is displayed if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than 100. •When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value for ISO sensitivity are displayed. Enter A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode M d button M A or C tab M ISO sensitivity OptionDescription Auto (default setting)Sensitivity is ISO 100 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when lighting is dim. Fixed range autoSelect the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity; ISO 100-400 and ISO 100-800 are available. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of grain that appears in images. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200ISO sensitivity is locked at the specified value. BNotes About ISO Sensitivity •Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A73). •When ISO sensitivity is fixed, Motion detection (E68) is disabled.

Image mode is fixed at O. jContinuous H: 60 fpsEach time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, 60 frames are captured at a speed of about 1/60 s or faster. Image mode is fixed at M (image size: 1280 × 960 pixels). jBSS (best shot selector)The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred images. The camera captures a series of up to 10 images while the shutter-release button is held all the way down, and the sharpest image in the series is automatically selected and saved. •Best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. When shooting moving subjects or when the composition of the picture changes while shooting, the desired results may not be achieved. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
