Nikon 900 - Manual (Page 50)

- 50 - Advanced Settings (M-REC): Extra Functions
The above settings can be used in combination. For example, it
is possible to use VGA SHOT together with any combination
of DIGITAL TELE and AE LOCK. Note however that
digital zoom cannot be used in combination with either FISHEYE
or WIDEADAPTER; nor can FISHEYE be used at the same
time as WIDEADAPTER. Similarly, BLACK&WHITE
cannot be used together with VGA SHOT.
To use the settings in the extra functions menu, highlight the
desired effect and press the shutter button. An “X” will appear
in the box to the left of the item. You can then select additional
items if desired. If mutually exclusive items, such as FISHEYE
and WIDEADAPTER, are selected, only the item most
recently chosen will be selected. To deselect an item, highlight
it and press the shutter button. To put the selected items into
effect, highlight EXECUTE and press the shutter button.
When any of the items in the extra function menu are in effect,
an “X” will appear in the box next to EXTRA FUNC in the
shooting menu. To exit the extra functions menu without
putting the selected items into effect, highlight BK and press
the shutter button to return to the shooting menu, or press the
MENU button to restore the view through the lens.
Extra function settings are only effective when the selector dial
is set to M-REC and will be ignored when the camera is in A-
REC mode. To restore default settings, select RESET ALL
from the shooting menu (see “Restoring Default Settings,” be-
low). Individual effects can be turned off by opening the extra
functions menu and deselecting the item.
LCD Brightness
It is possible to adjust the brightness of the color LCD monitor,
making the image in the monitor easier to see, without affecting
the brightness of photographs taken with the camera (to adjust
the brightness of photographs, use the image adjustment set-
tings discussed above under “Image Adjustment”). To adjust the
brightness of the color monitor, highlight LCD BRIGHT in the
shooting menu and press the shutter button. The following
window will appear.
Using the zoom switch, select the desired setting by highlighting
–, 0, or + and pressing the shutter button. A setting of – will
darken the display slightly, while + results in a slightly brighter
display. These settings are not cumulative; selecting – twice in a
row will only darken the display by the same amount as select-
ing – once. LCD brightness settings remain in effect even when
the selector dial is set to A-REC or PLAY. Select 0 in the
window above to restore normal brightness.
To exit the LCD brightness window without changing monitor
brightness, highlight BK and press the shutter button to
return to the shooting menu, or press the MENU button to
restore the view through the lens.
