Review and Deletion
Quick Review
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 re-
view 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 pic-
ture 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 com-
pensation (
85) and try again. Are the flowers in that close-up shot blurred?
Turn on the Best-Shot Selector (BSS; 112) 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.
To use quick review, the camera must be in (shooting) mode. Press the
button once to display images 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.
