In Live View mode, the control strip appears in the middle of the live preview,
but everything else works as just described.
Displaying Help screens
If you see a question mark in the lower-left corner of a menu, as shown in
Figure 1-18 , press and hold the Zoom Out button — note the question-mark
label above the button — to display information about the current menu
option. For example, the right screen here shows the Help screen associated
with the Clean Image Sensor option on the Setup menu. To scroll the screen,
keep the button depressed and press the Multi Selector up and down.
Figure 1-18 :
When you see the question mark symbol (left), press the Zoom Out button to
display a help screen (right).
You may spot the question-mark symbol blinking in the lower-left corner of
the Information or Live View display; in this case, the camera's alerting you
to a potential shooting problem. Again, just press the Zoom Out button to see
what solution the camera suggests. When the symbol isn't blinking, pressing
the button displays a screen that explains the current exposure mode.
Familiarizing Yourself with the Lens
Because I don't know which lens you ' re using, I can't give you full instruc-
tions on its operation. But the following basics apply to most Nikon AF-S
lenses as well as to certain other lenses that support autofocusing — you
should explore the lens manual for specifics, of course:
✓
Extending/retracting the lens: If you use the kit lens, press the button
labeled Lens Unlock Switch in Figure 1-19 while rotating the lens barrel
to extend and retract the lens. The camera won ' t take a picture with the
lens in the retracted position.
