Chapter 3 ■ Nikon D7000 Roadmap

Pages of thumbnail images offer a quick way to scroll through a large number of pic- tures quickly to find the one you want to examine in more detail. The D7000 lets you switch quickly from single- to four- to nine- to 72-image views, with a scroll bar dis- played at the right side of the screen to show you the relative position of the displayed thumbnails within the full collection of images in the active folder on your memory card. Figure 3.13 offers a comparison between the three levels of thumbnail views. The Zoom In and Zoom Out/Thumbnail buttons are used.

■Add thumbnails. To increase the number of thumbnails on the screen, press the Zoom Out button. The D7000 will switch from single image to four thumbnails to nine thumbnails to 72 thumbnails, and then on to calendar view, described next. (The display doesn’t cycle back to single image again.)

■Reduce number of thumbnails. To decrease the number of thumbnails on the screen, press the Zoom In button to change from Calendar View to 72 to nine thumbnails to four thumbnails, or from four to single-image display. Continuing to press the Zoom In button once you’ve returned to single-image display starts the zoom process described in the previous section.

■Change slot and folder. When viewing 72 thumbnails, if two memory cards are installed in the D7000, then pressing the Zoom Out button one additional time produces a screen that allows you to choose the memory card slot and folder that contains the images you want to view. Press the Playback button to back out of this option and return to the 72-thumbnail view.

■Switch between thumbnails and full image. When viewing thumbnails, you can quickly switch between thumbnail view and full image display by pressing the OK button in the center of the multi selector. Pressing it again brings up the Retouch menu (described in Chapter 10). If you want to return to thumbnail views instead, press the Zoom In button.

■Change highlighted thumbnail area. Use the multi selector to move the yellow highlight box around among the thumbnails.

Figure 3.13 Switch between four thumbnails (left thumbnails (center), or 72 thumbnails (right), by pressing the Zoom Out and Zoom In buttons.
