The Camera Control Window

Simulated LCD Panel

This panel shows the information displayed in the camera’s viewfinder, with the exception of camera errors. Clicking on an indicator in the panel opens the Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control window to the tab that controls the selected option, where adjustments can be made.

When a D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, or D50 camera is connected, the amount of memory remaining in the camera memory buffer is displayed at the right edge of the simulated LCD panel. This information is updated at regular intervals, but temporary discrepancies may exist between the display and the actual amount of memory remaining in the buffer.

Shoot Buttons

Click either of these buttons to take a photograph at current settings. If a D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, or D50 camera is connected, photos can be taken in continuous shooting mode ( 128); in this case, the AF and Shoot and Shoot buttons will instead be labeled AF and Start and Start.

AF and Shoot/AF and Start: When this button is clicked, the camera will perform an auto- focus and then release the shutter to take a photograph.

Shoot/Start: Click this button to take a photograph. If the selected focus mode is single- servo AF, an autofocus operation will be performed before the shutter is released.
