TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS

1—Adjusting Camera Settings

This section describes how to take a photograph using single-frame mode, single- servo autofocus, matrix metering, programmed auto-exposure, a sensitivity (ISO equivalency) setting of 200, a normal image quality setting, and auto white balance. The description below assumes that you are using a type G or D AF-Nikkor lens. These settings will produce optimal results in most situations, with no delay between exposures to adjust camera settings for the next shot. To use these settings, adjust camera controls as shown in the following steps. More information on the settings described here is available on the pages listed below.

1.1 Choose an operating mode ( pp. 52–55) Hold the mode-dial lock release down and turn the mode dial to S (single-frame mode). In this mode, the camera will take a single photograph each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

1	.2	Choose an image quality and format (			pp. 56–61)
		This section describes how to take color photographs at an image quality of
		JPEG Normal, which provides the best trade-off between file size and im-
		age quality.
