Nikon 885 - Manual (Page 35)

With a film camera, only when the film was developed would you know
whether your pictures had turned out as you had hoped. Using the
quick review function on your Nikon digital camera, on the other hand,
you can view the results of earlier attempts while setting up the next
shot, and use what you see to change camera settings or to choose a
better angle. Was your last picture too dark? Take your finger off the
flash window and try again. Does the brilliant white sand of the beach
look dingy and grey? Raise exposure compensation (p. 100) and try
again. Are the flowers in that close-up shot blurred? Turn on Best-Shot
Selection (p. 141) and try again. Once you have the shot you want, you
can delete your failures instantly to make room for more shots on the
memory card.
Reviewing and Deleting
Playback Mode (p. 155)
The review function described in this section allows you to view photos and
movies without leaving shooting mode. Your Nikon digital camera is also
equipped with a full playback mode, which can be accessed by turning the
mode dial to p. In playback mode, not only can you view pictures full frame or
as thumbnails, view movies, and delete individual images, but you also have
access to a menu of playback options that allow you to delete multiple images,
protect images from deletion, view slide shows, select images for transfer to a
computer, and prepare digital “print orders” for printing pictures directly from the
CF memory card.
To use quick review, the camera must be in shooting mode. Press the QUICK p
button once to display existing pictures at the top left corner of the monitor, twice
to display pictures full screen. Pressing the button a third time returns you to
shooting mode.
