Nikon 25047 User Manual - Page 55

Setting Shooting Menus-continued Shooting Mode USER SETTING The camera can "memorize" up to three combinations of settings, including White Balance, Metering, Continuous, Best Shot Selector, Image Adjustment, Saturation Control, Lens and Image Sharpening. These settings can be recalled as desired, allowing you to create separate combinations of settings for different shooting conditions and then recall them later at a touch. User Setting 1 User Setting 2 User Setting 3 Desired combination of menu settings can be stored in memory. 1 Select User Setting. The User Setting number and the icons for the menu items are displayed. • By default, any changes made to settings are automatically saved as User Setting1. • Settings that have not been changed from the default values are shown in white. Settings that differ from the defaults are shown in orange. 2 To store the desired settings in User Setting 2 or 3, highlight 2 or 3 by pressing ≤/≥ on the Multi selector and then press to select. Then, set the desired menu item from the Shooting menu. • The icon for the selected menu item is displayed in orange. • When menu item option is changed in each User Setting number, the new setting is stored in memory. • The User Setting number is displayed in the upper left corner of the Monitor when User Setting 2 or 3 is selected. 108 EXPOSURE OPTIONS In certain cases, you may want to modify the exposure setting as metered by the camera so as to intentionally over- or underexpose the image. This is known as exposure compensation. Alternatively, you may wish to maintain the same exposure over a number of different images, for example when you are taking pictures that must be composited or displayed together. AE Lock EXP. +/- Exposure mode Setting Exposure Lock Setting Exposure Compensation Setting Exposure mode - AE Lock - Use the AE Lock to record a number of shots with the same aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity and white balance settings. This is useful in situations such as when you want to join or retouch images on a computer. • AE-L (Auto Exposure Lock) and WB-L (White Balance Lock) are displayed on the Monitor when AE Lock is set. If you choose Reset, these icons will turn yellow to indicate that exposure will be reset with the next shot. Off On Reset Exposure Lock is canceled and normal exposure control is resumed. Exposure control (aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity and white balance) are locked to the settings for the first image recorded after On setting. • The flash is canceled. Do not release the built-in Speedlight.
