The Control Panel and Color LCD Monitor
The COOLPIX 900 is equipped with two displays, one a black-
and-white control panel giving the current camera settings, and
the other a color LCD monitor that in addition to displaying
information on current settings also shows the view through the
lens. The color LCD monitor is also used to play back images
when the selector dial is set to PLAY.
The color LCD monitor shows the view through the camera’s
lens, adjusted for such settings as white balance, exposure, and
digital zoom. The MONITOR button below the monitor
controls whether camera settings will be shown superimposed
on the image from the lens, and can also be used to turn the
monitor off, increasing battery life. In manual (M-REC) and
playback (PLAY) modes, pressing the MENU button causes the
settings menus for the current mode to be displayed. The
zoom-out (W/▼) and zoom-in (T/▲) buttons are used to
highlight the various menu items, while the item currently
highlighted can be chosen using the shutter button.

Note: The brightness and contrast of the control panel display
will vary with temperature and age. After six to seven years of
normal use, the display may become difficult to read. In this case,
you may wish to have a replacement installed by your local Nikon
representative (please note that there is a charge for replacement).
Zoom switch
When the monitor is on and camera settings are displayed,
pressing the MONITOR button will hide the camera settings.
Pressing the button a second time will turn the monitor off. To
turn the monitor on, press the MONITOR button once.
Note: The monitor may be difficult to read in bright light.
