1 —Adjusting Camera Settings
This section describes how to take a photograph using single-frame mode, single-
ser vo 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 camer a 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 .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
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.
