The Camera Control Window

Lens: Displays the focal length and maximum aperture of the lens currently attached to the camera. Depending on the lens type, some information may not be displayed. If the lens focal length or maximum aperture have been specified manually (see below), an asterisk will appear next to these values.

Edit… (D2 series/D200 only): This button is only available when a non-CPU lens is mounted on the camera. Clicking Edit… displays the dialog shown at right, where the lens focal length and maximum aperture can be entered. Click OK to copy the values to the camera.

Main Battery Level: Displays the level of the main camera battery. Green indicates that the battery has enough charge for continued operation. Yellow indicates that battery level is low; ready a fully charged spare battery pack. Red indicates that the battery is exhausted, and that no further photographs can be taken until the battery pack has been replaced. You may not be able to control the camera from Nikon Capture when the battery is exhausted. Replace with a fully charged spare battery pack or use an AC adapter (available separately).

Clock Battery Level (D1-series only): Displays the level of the camera clock battery. Should this display turn yellow or red, have the clock battery replaced by an authorized Nikon service representative (a fee is charged for this service).
