Part I
Using the Nikon D90
Shutter speed. By default, this set
of numbers shows you the shutter
speed setting. This set of numbers
also shows myriad other settings
depending on which buttons are
pressed:
•
Exposure compensation value.
Press the Exposure Compensation
button to display the EV compen-
sation number then rotate the
main command dial to adjust.
•
FEC value. Press the Flash
mode button to display the FEC
number then rotate the sub-
command dial to adjust.
•
WB fi ne-tuning. Pressing the
WB button and then rotating
the Sub-command dial fi ne-
tunes the white balance setting.
A is warmer, and B is cooler.
•
Color temperature. When the
WB is set to K, the panel dis-
plays the color temperature in
the Kelvin scale when you press
the WB button.
F-stop/Aperture indicator. At
default settings, this displays the
aperture at which the camera is set.
This indicator also displays auto-
bracketing compensation incre-
ments. The exposure bracketing
can be adjusted to over- and
underexpose in 1/3-stop incre-
ments. When the Function (Fn)
button is set to auto-bracketing, the
number of exposure value (EV)
stops is displayed in this area. The
choices are 0.3, 0.7, or 1.0 EV. The
WB auto-bracketing can also be
adjusted; the settings are 1, 2, or 3.
Release mode. This set of icons
shows which Release mode the
camera is set to: Single, Continuous
Low, or Continuous High.
Continuous shooting speed. This
displays the continuous shooting
speed in frames per second (fps).
Self-timer/Remote. These icons
can show separately or together.
When both icons are lit, the camera
is in Delayed Remote mode.
ISO sensitivity indicator. This
appears above the ISO sensitivity
setting number. When Auto ISO is
activated, AUTO appears after ISO.
Beep indicator. This icon, which
looks like a musical note, informs
you that the camera beeps when
the self-timer is activated or when
the camera achieves focus when in
Single Focus mode. When the
musical note appears inside a circle
with a slash, the beep function is
turned off . This can be done in
CSM d1. Turning the beep off is
usually the fi rst the thing I do when
I confi gure a new camera.
K. This appears when the number
of remaining exposures exceeds
1000. This isn't to be confused with
the K that may appear in the WB
area, which is used to denote the
Kelvin temperature.
White balance settings. These
icons indicate which WB setting the
camera is set to. A set of opposing
arrows appears if the WB setting
has been modifi ed by applying
fi ne-tuning.
