Using the Nikon D60
Lens Focus mode selector. This
switch is used to choose between
using the lens in Auto or Manual
focus.
VR switch. If your lens features
Vibration Reduction (VR) technol-
ogy, this switch allows you to turn
the VR on or off. When shooting in
bright light it's best to turn the VR
off to reduce battery consumption.
Built-in flash. This option is a
handy feature that allows you to
take sharp pictures in low-light sit-
uations. Although not as versatile
as one of the external Nikon
Speedlights such as the SB-800 or
SB-600, the built-in flash can be
used very effectively and is great
for snapshots.
