Nikon Coolpix 995 Help

The camera settings shown below offer a starting point for taking pictures with the Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the settings and usage of this camera.

Nikon also includes a help manual on the "Reference Manuals CD-ROM", packaged with each camera.

Recommended Settings for Extraoral Photographs

Turn the camera on by set-

ting it to the

setting

located on top of the camera,

as shown to the right.

We suggest using either a wall mounted lightbox with a built-in slave flash or a bare slave flash

to eliminate shadows on the facial photos. If you are using a bare slave flash, we have found that

it works best when placed precisely behind the patient's head, facing toward a white background.

You may need to adjust the brightness on the background lighting that you use in order to generate

accurate soft tissue hues. Overhead fluorescent lighting may also affect the color of the images.

You can replace the fluorescent bulbs with halogen lighting to produce better color images.

Professional photographers spend time setting up their studios for just the right picture. We also

have to invest time in setting up our offices for the right lighting for digital images.

Tips for Taking Extraoral Images

When you are taking the lateral head image, make sure the patient's head is level, with no tilting or

canting. We suggest that you place a mirror in front of the patient with a vertical line and have them

align themselves to it. This will make it easier to align the photos to the x-ray tracings. You should

capture the photo with the camera lens aligned with the patient's Frankfurt Horizontal plane to

ensure the most accuracy.

Recommended Settings for Intraoral Photographs

For intraoral photographs, we recommend switching to the Manual mode on the camera. This allows you to take higher

quality pictures than in the auto mode, and allows for greater control over the exposure and depth of field of the images. The

manual settings only need to be set once, as the camera "memorizes" these settings.

To access the manual set-

tings, turn the camera on by

setting it to the

located on top of the camera.

Adjusting ISO film speed:

The ISO settings define how quickly the camera

takes the picture. A higher ISO number means the

camera will take the picture quickly, so there's less

chance of blurry pictures. This is especially useful

for intraoral pictures.

To set the ISO settings, hold down the flash button

on the back of the camera and rotate the "Command

Dial" located at the top of the camera as shown:

The letters ISO should appear in the Control Panel.

You should stop rotating the dial when ISO 400

appears.

turned on as well.

Adjusting Aperture Priority:

For a better depth of field, you should adjust the Aperture settings. Setting the cam-

era on "Aperture Priority" allows you to adjust the camera so you can take pictures

where the foreground and the background are both sharp. This is crucial for intra-

oral photographs.

To enable "Aperture Priority", hold down the "Mode" button and rotate the

"Command Dial" located on the top of the camera until the
