To magnify the view in the monitor up to 13 × and check focus, press the Nbutton while rotating the main command dial.

Nbutton

Main command dial

While the view through the lens is zoomed in, a k navigation window will appear in the bottom right

corner of the display. Use the multi selector to scroll to areas of the frame not visible in the monitor.

To preview exposure at current settings, press J. In exposure modes other than h, exposure can be adjusted by pressing the Ebutton and rotating the main command dial (note that while exposure compensation can be adjusted by ±5 EV, only values between –3 and +3 EV can be previewed in the monitor).

AExposure Preview

Matrix metering is used to set exposure. Exposure can not be previewed when an optional flash unit is attached, bracketing is in effect (pg. 130), active D-lighting is on (pg. 181), or shutter speed is set to Aor “p” (flash sync speed).

ARemote Cords

If the shutter-release button on a remote cord (available separately; see pg. 392) is pressed halfway for over a second in tripod mode, it will activate contrast-detect autofocus. If the remote cord shutter-release button is pressed all the way down without focusing, focus will not be adjusted before the picture is taken.
