The Controls Menu (M-REC)
In M-REC mode, the controls menu offers control over the
following settings:
•
SAVE (Flash Mode Save): When this item is checked, the
camera saves the flash setting in effect at the time the mode
dial is set to OFF. This flash setting is restored when the mode
dial is turned to M-REC. When this item is not checked, the
flash is set to “Auto” when the camera is turned on.
• SAVE (Focus Mode Save): As above, but the camera
saves the focus mode setting. When this item is not checked,
focus is set to “Autofocus” when the camera is turned on.
• MODE SAVE (Exposure Mode Save): When this item is
checked, the camera saves the M-REC exposure mode setting.
This setting is restored when the mode dial is turned from OFF
to M-REC. When this item is not checked, exposure mode is
set to “Program” when the camera is turned on.
• SAVE (Exposure Compensation Save): When this item is
checked, the camera saves the exposure compensation setting
in effect at the time the mode dial is set to OFF. This setting
is restored when the mode dial is turned to M-REC. When this
item is not checked, exposure compensation is set to “0” when
the camera is turned on.
• INTL FLASH OFF: The COOLPIX 950 is equipped with an
external flash connector that allows an external flash to be
used in combination with the camera’s built-in flash. When the
INTL.FLASH OFF item is checked, the internal flash will remain
off while you are using an external flash at a setting of “Auto,”
“Slow-sync” or “Forced on.” See “Using the Buttons (A-REC,
M-REC): Flash Settings,” above, for more information.
• MENU DIR.: Reverses the roles of the zoom buttons for the
purposes of scrolling through the menus. When this item is
checked, the zoom out (W/▼) button is used to move the
highlight bar up and the zoom in (T/▲) button to move it down.
• DIST. FT: When this item is checked, the focus distance for
manual focus is shown in feet. If this item is not checked, focus
distance will be shown in meters.
