Nikon D200 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.

Single frame

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

Continuous 

low speed

While shut ter-re lease but ton is held down, camera records 1–4 frames per 
second.

 *

    Frame rate can be chosen using Custom Setting d4 (Shooting 

Speed; 

 158).

Continuous 

high speed

While shut ter-re lease but ton is held down, camera records up to 5 frames 
per second.

 *

    Use to photograph moving objects or to capture a fl eeting 

expression on portrait subjects.

Self-timer

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

 83).

Mirror up

Press shutter-release button once to raise mirror, again to take photograph 
(shutter will be released automatically if shutter-release button is not 
pressed for 30 s after mirror up).  Mirror will be lowered after shutter is re-
leased.  Choose this mode 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.

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

shutter speed of / s or faster, and memory remaining in memory buff er.

To choose a shooting mode, press the mode dial lock 
release and turn the mode dial to the desired set-
ting.
