The Camera Control Window

The Mechanical Tab

The following settings can be adjusted from the Mechanical tab:

Shooting Mode: Sets the shooting mode for D1-series cameras connected in PC mode to Single or Continuous. Changes to this set- ting also apply to Custom Setting 30. The shooting mode for the D70s, D70, and D50 can be selected from Single and Continu- ous. Unless Enable controls on the cam- era body is checked in the connection status area, the shooting mode for D2-series and D200 cameras can be selected from Single, Continuous low speed, and Continuous high speed. If Continuous is selected for the D70s, D70, or D50 or if Continuous low

speed or Continuous high speed is select-

ed for a D2-series or D200 camera, the AFD70 and Shoot and Shoot buttons will instead

be labeled AF and Start and Start. If Enable controls on the camera body is checked or a D100 camera is connected, the current shooting mode will be shown, but changes can only be made using camera controls. See the camera manual for details.

Maximum Shots (D2 series/D200/D70s/D70/D50 only): Use the arrows to choose the maxi- mum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst in continuous mode, or enter a value directly in the text box. The maximum permitted value varies with the current image-quality setting; the value chosen should not, however, exceed the capacity of the camera memory buffer as shown at the right edge of the LCD display. Values larger than the capacity of the camera memory buffer will be shown in red. This setting only applies when the camera is connected, and differs from the maximum selected in the Custom Settings menu.

Self-Timer and Remote Modes

When a D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, D50, or D100 camera is set to self-timer mode, or when the D70s, D70 or D50 is set to delayed remote or quick-response remote mode, the Mechanical tab will show a shooting mode of Single, and any photographs taken with the Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control shoot buttons will be taken in single-frame mode with no shutter-release delay. To take pictures in self-timer or remote mode, use the shutter-release button on the camera.

Continuous Mode (D2-Series/D200/D70s/D70/D50 Cameras Only)

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.

Taking Photographs in Continuous Mode (D100/D1-Series Only)

When a D100 is connected or a D1-series camera is in PC mode, continuous shooting can only be per- formed using the camera shutter-release button. The shoot buttons in the camera control window can only be used to take one photograph at a time.
