Slide Copy Adapter: Inverse Color
The Inverse Color option requires a bright light source. If lighting is insuffi-
cient, the image in the monitor will be too bright. Should you notice exces-
sive “noise” in the form of randomly spaced bright pixels, set the IMAGE
SHARPENING option in the SHOOTING menu to Off or Low (
123).
Inverse Color is intended for use only when examining film negatives in the
monitor, and the quality of the image produced will vary widely with the type
and make of film used. We recommend that you use a film scanner such as
the Nikon COOLSCAN to obtain high-quality digital images from negative film.
Viewing the Current Lens Setting
At settings other than Normal, a converter lens
icon appears in the monitor.
