Nikon D7000 manual Working with the Shooting Information/ Photo Data Displays

Chapter 3 ■ Nikon D7000 Roadmap 65

■View a date’s images. Press the Zoom In button to toggle between the date list to the scrolling thumbnail list of images taken on that date at the right of the screen. When viewing the thumbnail list, you can use the multi selector up/down keys to scroll through the available images. Press the Zoom In button again to return to the date list calendar when you want to select a different date.

■Preview an image. In the thumbnail list, when you’ve highlighted an image you want to look at, press the Zoom In button to see an enlarged view of that image without leaving the calendar view mode. The zoomed image replaces the date list.

■Delete images. Pressing the Trash button deletes a highlighted image in the thumb- nail list. In the date list view, pressing the Trash button removes all the images taken on that date (use with caution!).

■Exit calendar view. In thumbnail list view, if you highlight an image and press the OK button, you’ll exit calendar view and the highlighted image will be shown on the LCD in the display mode you’ve chosen. (See “Working with Photo Information” to learn about the various display modes.) In date list view, pressing the Zoom In button exits calendar view and returns to 72 thumbnails view. You can also exit calendar view by tapping the shutter release (to turn off the LCD to ready the camera for shooting) or by pressing the MENU button.

Working with the Shooting Information/ Photo Data Displays

Your Nikon D7000 can display two types of information on the color LCD as you are reviewing or taking pictures:

■Shooting information display. This is the screen of information (illustrated by Figure 3.11 earlier) that provides a readout of various settings for the D7000’s shoot- ing parameters. It appears when you press the Info button on the back of the cam- era, just to the right of the bottom edge of the color LCD. The shooting information display partially duplicates some of the data shown on the top-panel monochrome LCD, but has an additional feature: you can change any of the param- eters listed in the bottom two rows of the display, without the need to press a func- tion button or visit the menus. I’ll describe exactly how to do this next.

Caution

Nikon calls this screen the information display most of the time in its manual, which is the same name it applies to a quite different series of six data screens that appear when using Live View. To avoid confusion, I will call this screen the shooting information display, and the other six the Live View information display.
