More on Photography (All Modes) The Shooting Information Display Pressing the button displays shooting information in the monitor. Shooting information can also be displayed by pressing in shooting mode, by pressing in P, S, or A mode, by pressing / (unless white balance is selected for Custom Setting 11 in Digital Vari-Program mode; 77), or by pressing when the flash is enabled.
Focus Focus can be adjusted automatically (see “Focus Mode,” below) or manually ( 28). The user can also select the focus area for automatic or manual focus ( 24, 25) or use focus lock to focus to recompose photographs after focusing ( 26). Focus Mode Controls used Choose how the camera focuses. AF-S and AF-C are available only in P, S, A, and M modes.
AF-Area Mode Controls used Choose how the focus area is selected in autofocus mode. This setting has no effect in manual focus mode. Option Description Camera automatically selects focus area containing subject closest to camera. Default Closest for P, S, A, and M modes; selected automatically when mode dial is rotated to , , , subject , , or . User selects focus area manually, but if subject leaves selected focus area even briefly, Dynamic camera will focus based on information from other focus areas.
Focus Area Selection Controls used Multi selector The D40x offers a choice of three focus areas. At default settings, the camera chooses the focus area automatically or focuses on subject in the center focus area, but the focus area can also be selected manually to compose photographs with the main subject positioned at either side of the frame. 1 At default settings, the focus area is selected automatically in , , , , , , P, S, A, and M modes.
Focus Lock Controls used Shutter-release button/AE-L/AF-L button Focus lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in a focus area in the final composition. It can also be used when the autofocus system is unable to focus ( 27). Single or dynamic area AF is recommended when using focus lock ( 24). 1 Focus lock can be used with any focus area.
Getting Good Results with Autofocus Autofocus does not perform well under the conditions listed below. The shutter release may be disabled if the camera is unable to focus under these conditions, or the in-focus indicator (z) may be displayed and the camera may sound a beep, allowing the shutter to be released even when the subject is not in focus. In these cases, use manual focus ( 28) or use focus lock ( 26) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.
Manual Focus Controls used Use this option when the camera is unable to focus correctly using autofocus. To focus manually, select manual focus mode and adjust the lens focusing ring until the image displayed on the clear matte field in the viewfinder is in focus. Photographs can be taken at any time, even when the image is not in focus. When using a lens that offers A-M selection, select M when focusing manually.
Image Quality and Size Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card.
Image Quality Controls used The camera supports the following image quality options (the first four are listed in descending order by image quality and file size): Option Format RAW NEF FINE NORM (default) BASIC JPEG Description Compressed raw data from the image sensor are saved directly to memory card. Choose for images that will be retouched on a computer. Images are compressed less than NORM, producing higher-quality images. Compression ratio: roughly 1:4. Best choice in most situations.
NEF (RAW)/RAW+B NEF (RAW) files can be viewed on a computer using Capture NX (available separately; 103) or the supplied PictureProject software. NEF (RAW) photographs can not be printed by most print services or by direct USB connection; use PictureProject or Capture NX to print NEF (RAW) photographs. When photographs taken at RAW+B are viewed on the camera, only the JPEG image will be displayed. When photographs taken at this setting are deleted, both NEF and JPEG images will be deleted.
Shooting Mode Controls used Shooting mode determines how the camera takes photographs: one at a time, in a continuous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or with a remote control. Mode Single frame (default) Description Camera takes one photograph each time shutter-release button is pressed. Camera records photographs at up to about three frames per second while shutter-release button is pressed.
Self-Timer and Remote Control Modes The self-timer or optional ML-L3 remote control can be used for self-portraits. 1 Mount the camera on a tripod or place the camera on a stable, level surface. 2 Select one of the following shooting modes: Mode 10s Self-timer 2s Delayed remote Quick-response remote Description Shutter released about 10s after camera has focused. Shutter released about 2s after camera has focused. Shutter released when camera focuses. 3 4 Frame the photograph.
Using the Built-in Flash Controls used The camera supports a variety of flash modes for photographing poorly lit or backlit subjects. The flash modes available depend on the mode selected with the mode dial; note that the built-in flash can not be used in , , or mode. The default flash setting for Digital Vari-Program modes is automatically restored when the mode dial is rotated to a new setting or the camera is turned off.
Flash Mode The flash modes available depend on the mode currently selected with the mode dial. , , , Auto Auto+ red-eye reduction Auto slow sync Off P, A Fill flash Red-eye reduction Auto slow sync+ red-eye reduction Off S, M Fill flash Rearcurtain+ slow sync * Red-eye reduction Rear-curtain sync Slow sync+ Slow sync red-eye reduction * SLOW is displayed after command dial is released. Flash modes are described below.
The Built-in Flash Use with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18–300mm or non-CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18– 200mm ( 97–98). Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. Lenses that block the subject’s view of the AF-assist lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction. The flash has a minimum range of 60cm (2ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. If the flash fires in continuous shooting mode ( shutter-release button is pressed.
ISO Sensitivity Controls used Photographs taken at slow shutter speeds are prone to blurring. If ISO sensitivity is raised above the base setting of ISO 100 equivalent, the same exposures can be achieved at faster shutter speeds, preventing blur. ISO sensitivity can be set to values between ISO 100 and ISO 1600 in steps of 1EV, with a further high sensitivity setting of HI 1 available for an ISO equivalent of roughly 3200.
Two-Button Reset Controls used: button + button The camera settings listed below can be restored to default values by holding the and buttons down together for more than two seconds (these buttons are marked by a green dot). The monitor turns off briefly while settings are reset. Custom Settings are not affected.
P, S, A, and M Modes P, S, A, and M modes offer control over a variety of advanced settings, including exposure ( 45), white balance, and image optimization. Each of these modes offers a different degree of control over shutter speed and aperture: Mode P Programmed auto ( 40) Shutter-priority auto ( 41) Aperture-priority A auto ( 42) S M Manual ( 43) Description Camera sets shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure.
Mode P (Programmed Auto) In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and aperture. To take photographs in programmed auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to P. 2 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
Mode S (Shutter-Priority Auto) In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed from values between 30s and ¼,000 s while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, high shutter speeds to “freeze” motion. To take photographs in shutter-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to S.
Mode A (Aperture-Priority Auto) In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture from values between the minimum and maximum for the lens while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f/-numbers) soften background details. To take photographs in aperture-priority auto: 42 1 Rotate the mode dial to A.
Mode M (Manual) In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30s and ¼,000 s, or the shutter can be held open for indefinitely for longer exposures ( ). Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and maximum values for the lens. To take photographs in manual exposure mode: 1 Rotate the mode dial to M. 2 Rotate the command dial to choose a shutter speed (see the illustration at left, below).
Long Time-Exposures Shutter speeds of “bulb” and “--” can be used for long time-exposure photographs of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. To prevent blurring caused by camera shake, use a tripod or an optional remote control ( 33, 103). Shutter speed Description bulb Shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is held down. Optional remote control required. Select mode M, choose a shutter speed of “bulb,” and then select delayed remote or quick-response remote mode ( 33).
Exposure Metering Controls used The metering method determines how the camera sets exposure. The following options are available when the mode dial is rotated to P, S, A, or M (matrix metering is used in other modes): Method Matrix Center-weighted Spot Description Recommended in most situations. Camera meters a wide area of the frame and instantly sets exposure according to distribution of brightness, color, distance, and composition for natural results.
Autoexposure Lock Controls used AE-L/AF-L button If the subject is not in the metered area when center-weighted or spot metering is used, exposure will be based on lighting conditions in the background and the main subject may not be correctly exposed. This can be prevented by using autoexposure lock. 1 2 Select mode P, S, or A and choose center-weighted or spot metering (exposure lock has no effect in mode M).
Exposure Compensation Controls used Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure by up to ±5EV in increments of 1/3EV, making pictures brighter or darker. It is available only in P, S, and A modes and is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering ( 45). As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background, negative values when the main subject is brighter than the background.
Flash Compensation Controls used Flash compensation (available only in P, S, A, and M modes) is used to alter flash output by from –3EV to +1EV in increments of 1/3EV, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. Flash compensation is shown in the shooting information display. Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±0.0.
White Balance Controls used White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources; if necessary, other values can be selected according to the type of source. The following options are available in P, S, A, and M modes (Auto is automatically selected in Digital Vari-Program modes): Option Description Camera sets white balance automatically. Recommended for most sitAuto uations.
