Nikon D2H Manuel D’Utilisation

Shooting mode determines how the camera takes pho to graphs: one at a 
time, in a continuous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or with 
the mirror raised to enhance shutter response and minimize vibration.

To choose a shooting mode, press the mode dial 
lock release and turn the mode dial to the desired 
setting.  The following modes are avail able:

Camera takes one photograph each time shutter-release button is 
pressed.  Access lamp will light while photo is recorded; next shot can 
be taken immediately if enough space remains in memory buffer.

Single 

frame

Use the self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused by 
camera shake (

 123).

Self-timer

Press shutter-release button once to raise mirror, again to take photo-
graph (shutter will be released automatically if shutter-release button 
is not pressed for 30 s after mirror up).  Mirror will be lowered after 
photo is taken.  Choose this mode to reduce release lag in situations in 
which timing is paramount, or to minimize camera shake in situations 
in which the least camera movement can result in blurred photographs.  
Note that autofocus, metering, and framing can not be confi rmed in the 
viewfi nder while mirror is raised.

Mirror up

Camera records from one to seven frames per second

*

 while the shut-

 ter-re lease but ton is held down.  Frame rate can be chosen using Cus-
tom Setting d1 (Shooting Speed; 

 188).

Continuous 

low speed

While the shut ter-re lease but ton is held down, camera records up to 
eight frames per second (seven frames per second when ISO auto is on 
and sensitivity is altered from value selected by user).

Continuous 

high speed

* Average frame rate with continuous-servo AF, manual or shutter-priority auto ex-

 po sure, a shutter speed of ½

50

 s or faster, and memory re main ing in memory buffer.  

Buffer can hold up to 24 compressed NEF+JPEG images, 25 uncompressed NEF+JPEG 
images, 25 compressed NEF (RAW) images, 26 uncompressed NEF (RAW) images, 35 
TIFF (RGB) images, or 40 JPEG images.  When noise reduction is on, buffer can hold 
up to 14 compressed NEF+JPEG images, 15 uncompressed NEF+JPEG images, 15 
compressed NEF (RAW) images, 16 uncompressed NEF (RAW) images, 15 TIFF (RGB) 
images, or 30 JPEG images.  Additional photographs can be taken as soon as enough 
memory is available in buffer.
