Nikon 950 Guida All'Installazione Rapida

Frame your subject in the view-
finder or LCD monitor.  When the
LCD monitor is on, the camera
focuses continuously to give an
impression of how the final photo-
graph will look.  If the LCD monitor
is off, the camera focuses only
when the shutter-release button is
pressed half way.

The dial next to the viewfinder
allows the viewfinder to be ad-
justed to accommodate individual
differences in vision.

The COOLPIX 950 uses compact
flash memory cards to store pho-
tographs, in much the same way
an ordinary camera uses film.  The
memory card slot is on the bottom
of the camera.  Open the cover,
slide the card in as shown above,
and fold the eject button over.
Then close the cover.

Turn the mode dial to A-REC.
Check that the LCD display on top
of the camera is on and that the
battery indicator is not flashing.

The brackets in the center of the viewfinder (

)

show the autofocus position.

If your subject is
not inside the
focus brackets, you
can use focus lock
to focus on the
subject while
blurring distant
details of the
background.

To focus on an off-
center subject,
position the subject
in the focus brackets
and depress the
shutter-release
button half way.

Keeping the shutter-
release button
slightly depressed,
recompose your
picture, then press
the shutter-release
button the rest of the
way down to take
the photograph.

The COOLPIX 950 offers a choice of three
operating modes.

The zoom buttons and the three buttons under the
monitor have special functions in playback mode.

Separate menus are available for
each operating mode.

To display and hide the menu
With the monitor on, press the MENU button.
In menus with more than one page, you can
move between pages by pressing the MENU
button.  Pressing the MENU button when the
last page of the menu is displayed hides the

menu.

Use the

items one at a time.

Press the shutter-release button.  Where several different

settings are possible for an item in the main menu, you can

highlight the menu item and press the shutter release button

to display a submenu of options, or use the command dial to

make changes to settings directly from the main menu.

steadily and the flash lamp (red) is
not blinking.

To take a picture, fully depress the
shutter-release button.

The picture just taken will be
displayed briefly in the LCD moni-
tor while the camera transfers it to
