Taking Your First Photograph

The COOLPIX 900 offers a choice of two modes for recording photographs: automatic (A-REC) and manual (M-REC). In automatic mode, the user can control flash settings, image quality, focus settings, and zoom. In manual mode, the user can also make adjustments to exposure compensation, metering, and white balance, and in addition can experiment with a variety of digital effects. The present section provides a brief overview of how to use the camera in automatic mode. The settings available in automatic and manual modes are described in greater detail in the camera reference manual on CD-ROM.

Step 1—Turn the selector dial to A-REC

To enter automatic recording mode, turn the selector dial to A-REC. After a one- to two- second pause while the camera starts up, current settings will be displayed in the control panel and color LCD monitor (if not visible in the monitor, settings can be displayed by pressing the MONI- TOR button until they appear).

Note: The camera may become warm during use, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
