Nikon CoolPix950 Instructions for
OneShot360™
Recommended Camera Settings
•Turn the camera on to the manual recording mode
•Set image quality to Fine. This is accomplished by holding down the "QUAL" button located below the color LCD screen and rotating the dial located in front of and below the shutter release button until "FINE" appears in the lower right hand corner of the color LCD screen.
•Disable the flash. To toggle between the different flash modes, including OFF, press the flash mode button located to the right of the small digital LCD screen near the shutter release button. The flash mode is indicated on both LCD screens (on the right hand side of the small digital LCD screen and in the upper right hand corner of the larger color LCD screen).
•We recommend zooming in until the circular OneShot360 image exactly fills the digital camera LCD viewer screen. If you zoom in too much, you will lose part of the field of view. If you zoom in too little, you will not get maximum resolution. Note also that the OneShot360 image may not be exactly centered in the LCD screen – this is normal. The zoom control is located on the same side of the camera as the color LCD screen in the upper right hand corner. You must

This is done by holding down the "MODE" button located below the color LCD screen and rotating the dial in front of and slightly below the shutter release button. You are in aperture priority mode when the letter "A" appears in the lower left hand corner of both LCD screens. Next set the camera to the middle of 3 aperture settings (approximately F4.7 at the correct zoom level for OneShot360 images). You can see the aperture value in the lower middle portion of the color LCD screen and also in the smaller digital LCD screen. For outdoor shots, automatic exposure is fine. This mode is indicated by the letter "P" in the lower left hand corner of both LCD screens.
•The Nikon CoolPix 950 is equipped with a timer. This allows the photographer to exit the area before the shot is taken. This button is located on the same side of the camera as the smaller digital LCD screen, on the lower right hand side. Press the button 3 times until the timer symbol appears in the upper left hand corner of the color LCD screen. The timer must be manually
•Now make sure the camera is set to a focal distance of 1.5 meters. The button for placing the camera in manual focus mode is the same as that for setting the timer, so if you want to use both the timer and a manual focus setting, you must enable the timer first. Otherwise the camera will be set back to auto focus mode when you enable the timer. To input a manual focus distance, press and hold down the manual focus mode button as you rotate the dial located just in front of and below the shutter release button. Rotate that dial until 1.5 appears on either LCD screen.
