Nikon 3500 Manuel D’Utilisation

In 

 mode, you have a choice of four basic shooting modes (for

information on choosing a shooting mode, see “Tutorial: Taking Pic-
tures”; 

 23):

Pressing the SCENE button in 

 or 

 mode displays a menu of twelve

“scenes,” where you can choose an option suited to your subject and com-
position and let the camera adjust settings for best results.  For more infor-
mation, see “Tutorial: Getting Creative” (

 36).

Auto produces good results in a wide range of situations.  Use
for snapshots or when you want control over image quality (
51), image size (

 52), and exposure compensation (

 53) while

leaving the camera in charge of other settings.

Choose this mode for complete control over all camera settings,
including white balance (

 54), sharpening (

 58), and BSS (

57).  You can also choose to take pictures in continuous sequence
while the shutter-release button is held down (

 56).

This mode is used to record silent movies 320

×

240 pixels in size

(QVGA) at a rate of about fifteen frames per second.  Recording
begins when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way
down and ends when the shutter-release button is fully pressed
a second time.
• In place of the number of exposures remaining, the exposure-

count display in monitor shows the length of the movie that
can be recorded.

• Movie ends automatically after 35 seconds or when no more

space is available on the memory card.

• Movies are stored as QuickTime movie files ending in “.MOV”.
• The flash turns off (

) automatically.

• Menus and scene-selection are disabled in movie mode
• If the lens is rotated to point in the same direction as the mon-

itor during recording, the display in the monitor will be inverted
and the movie will be recorded upside down.
