Basic Photography During Recording • While pictures are being recorded to the memory or memory card, the Green (AF) Lamp will blink, and at the same time, a (wait) icon will be displayed in the monitor or the memory icon ( or ) will blink. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while pictures are being recorded. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera, internal memory, or card. Getting Good Results with Autofocus Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage). Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency) Sensitivity is a measure of how sensitive the camera responds to light. Your Nikon digital camera normally has a sensitivity roughly equivalent to film with an ISO 50 (E7900) or ISO 64 (E5900) rating. When lighting is poor and Sensitivity ( 95) is Auto, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permit- ting faster exposures and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent [ 10] camera movement (camera shake). An ISO icon will appear in the monitor to warn that the picture may be slightly mottled. Low Battery If the flash fires when the low battery icon is displayed, the monitor will turn off while the Speedlight recharges. AF-Assist Illuminator E7900/E5900 is equipped with an AF-assist Illuminator. If lighting is poor, the built-in AF-assist Illuminator will light when the Shutter-release Button is pressed halfway, allowing the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. For more information on AF-assist Illuminator, see "AF Assist" in the Set-up menu ( 126). Autofocus The E7900/E5900 has two modes that allow control of the Autofocus; AF area mode ( 98) and Auto-focus mode ( 101). 24
