Using the Menu

The Shooting Menu (The Common Shooting Options)

C RAW Images of This Camera

• RAW images cannot be processed on this camera.

• ViewNX-i (A116) needs to be installed on the computer to be able to view RAW images

on the computer.

• RAW images cannot be edited or printed directly. You can adjust images or process RAW
images if you transfer RAW images to a computer, and then use software such as Capture
NX-D (A118).

C Saving of RAW and JPEG Images at the Same Time

• The RAW image and the JPEG image that are saved at the same time have the same file
number but with their own extensions, “.NRW” and “.JPG” (A203).

• When playing back on the camera, only the JPEG image is displayed.

• Note that when the JPEG image is deleted, the RAW image that was saved at the same

time is also deleted.

C Number of Images That Can Be Saved

• The approximate number of images that can be saved can be checked on the screen
when shooting (A23).

• Note that due to JPEG compression, the number of images that can be saved may vary
greatly depending on the image content, even when using memory cards with the same
capacity and the same image quality and image size settings. In addition, the number of
images that can be saved may vary depending on the make of the memory card.

• If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures
remaining display shows “9999.”

Metering

Rotate the mode dial to A, B, C, or D M d button M A, B, C, or D menu
icon M Metering M k button

The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine the exposure is
known as “metering.”

Use this option to set the method of how the camera meters exposure.

Option Description

G Matrix
(default setting)

q Center-weighted

r Spot

* To set focus and exposure for off-center subjects, change AF area mode to manual and

set the focus area to the center of the frame, and then use focus lock (A77).

The camera uses a wide area of the screen for metering.
Recommended for typical shooting.

The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight
to the subject in the center of the frame. The classic metering for
portraits; it preserves background details while letting lighting
conditions in the center of the frame determine exposure.*

The camera meters the area shown by the circle in the center of
the frame. This can be used when the subject is much lighter or
darker than the background. Ensure that the subject is within the
area shown by the circle when shooting.*

B Notes About Metering

• When digital zoom is in effect, Center-weighted or Spot is selected depending on the
zoom ratio.

• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A80).

B Notes About Continuous Shooting

• Focus, exposure and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first shot in
each series (except Intvl timer shooting).

• It may take some time to save the images after shooting.

• When ISO sensitivity increases, noise may appear in captured images.

• The frame rate may become slower depending on the image quality, image size, memory

card type or shooting conditions (such as when saving RAW images).

• When using Pre-shooting cache, Continuous H: 120 fps, or Continuous H: 60 fps,
banding or variance in brightness or hue may occur in images that were captured under
lighting that flashes quickly at high speeds, such as fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or
sodium-vapor lighting.

• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A80).

B Notes About Interval Timer Shooting

• To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during shooting, use a sufficiently
charged battery.

• If the EH-62F AC Adapter (available separately; A204) is used, this camera can be
powered from an electrical outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, use an AC adapter
other than the EH-62F. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or
damage to the camera.

• Do not rotate the mode dial to a different setting while performing interval timer
shooting. Shooting will end.

• If the shutter speed is slow and saving an image takes time compared to the specified
interval, some of the shots during Interval timer shooting may be canceled.
