Print Set:
I never use this. This lets you mark images for printing if you sorted and then
printed directly from your D200, and had a lab which could read this data.
Display Mode:
This lets you select which data screens come up in rotation when you
look at each image. You can choose or refuse:
Data: this is three pages of f/stop, white balance, etc.
Histogram: don't check this. This is the worse-than-useless green-only histogram
which can cause you to overexpose your shots and not know it. See my
page for an explanation.
Highlight: Equally useless, this only reads the green channel. You can blow out your reds,
blues or anything other than gray or green and never notice.
RGB Histogram: Yes, use this! See my
Focus Area: This shows which focus area was active. It shows the area you set, or the
area(s) chosen by the D200 in it's dynamic modes, as little red rectangles on the LCD.
Image Review:
This sets the LCD to show each image after you shot it. Nikon hid this
well! It defaults to OFF to save the battery.
After Delete:
You may choose to see the next or the previous image after you delete
one. The third choice, "continue" keeps going in the same direction as you were going.
Rotate Tall:
Who translates these? I leave this off. If you set it ON, your vertical shots, if
s. Luckily the D200 is
smart enough to magnify using the whole screen if you choose this mode.
The D200 is not smart enough to use the rotation sensor during playback. Canon's point-
and-shoots are. Many Canon point-and-shoots expand these images to full screen if you
rotate the camera during playback! The D200 doesn't. I don't use Autorotate.
