Quick Start
INSERTING THE BATTERY
●
Make sure the camera is off before inserting the battery.
●
The door to the battery compartment is on the bottom of the camera. Push the
lever on the compartment door toward the center of the camera. If you do this while
holding the camera upright the door will drop down, opening the compartment.
●
Slide the battery into the compartment. (Orienting the battery: Have the side that
says "Nikon" facing up and insert the end with the triangle first) Press the battery
door closed.
SETTING THE DIOPTER
The diopter is located to the right of the viewfinder. It's important to set the diopter so you're able
to see when your subject is sharp. If it's set incorrectly, autofocus will still focus the lens on your
subject, but the subject may appear blurry to you. You only have to set the diopter once.
Remove the body cap from the D90 (or remove the lens if you've already attached one). Look
through the viewfinder and point the camera at something bright so you can easily see the boxes
in the viewfinder. Rotate the diopter with your thumb while looking through the viewfinder until the
boxes are sharp. Give it a good push as the diopter doesn't always turn easily.
Note: If you wear glasses when photographing, have them on when you set your diopter. The
opposite is also true. If you don't wear glasses when photographing, don't wear glasses when
you set your diopter. The diopter is correcting the viewfinder for your vision, so you want to see
the viewfinder under the same circumstances as when you're taking a picture.
ATTACHING A LENS
Remove the cap on the back of your lens by turning the cap to the right.
On the back of the lens there is a small white circle along the outer edge. Look for a matching
white circle on the camera body, along the edge of where the lens attaches. As you fit the back
of the lens into the opening in the camera, line up the two circles. Once the circles are aligned
the lens will fit flush with the camera. Rotate the lens to the right until it locks into place.
INSERTING A MEMORY CARD
Make sure the camera is off before inserting the memory card.
The D90 uses a Secure Digital (SD) memory card. The card slot is located on the right side of
the camera (when looking at the camera from the back). Open the cover to the memory card slot
by pressing and sliding the cover toward the
back of the camera.
It's important to orient the card correctly
when inserting it into the camera. One corner
of the memory card looks as though it has
been cut off. The end with this clipped corner
goes into the camera first. The side labeled
with the name of the card should be facing
the back of the camera.
