dissimilar features on the Release mode dial, and distinctive
cable connection points under the Connector cover.
Since we'll be using button, dial, and switch names all over
this book, it's important that you learn their locations on the
camera body. The Camera Body Reference section at the
beginning of this book contains large pictures showing the
locations and names of the external camera controls as well as
other important technical information. Please find this section
and look through it. Then come back here to continue.
Leave a bookmark in the section pertaining to your camera so
that you'll have an easy reference point for control locations.
Throughout this book, I'll say things like "Use the
Thumbnail/playback zoom out button to change the number
of images viewed on the Monitor." You'll need to know
where to find the Thumbnail/playback zoom out button and
the Monitor. The Camera Body Reference section provides
that information and should be your guide.
I won't constantly refer to the reference section, as I'd have to
do so literally hundreds of times and it would quickly get
tiring to read the extra, unnecessary text. Instead, I'll use
Nikon's official name for the controls, as found in the user's
manual. If you're unsure of a button, dial, or switch location,
simply use the reference images specific to your camera to
find its location. I may slip in a reminder of this from time to
time.
