Image Recording Options

Image Area

Choose the aspect ratio and angle of view (image area). Thanks to the camera's FX
format (35.9 × 24 mm) image sensor, you can choose from angles of view as wide as
those supported by 35 mm (135) format film cameras, while automatically cropping
pictures to the DX angle of view when using DX format lenses. See page 335 for
information on the number of pictures that can be stored at different image area
settings.
Auto DX Crop
Choose whether to automatically select a DX crop when a DX
lens is attached.

On attached. If another lens is attached, the crop selected for

DX Lenses
DX lenses are designed for use with DX format cameras and have a smaller angle of view
than lenses for 35mm format cameras. If Auto DX crop is off and FX (36×24) 1.0× (FX
format) is selected for Choose image area when a DX lens is attached, the edges of the
image may be eclipsed. This may not be apparent in the viewfinder, but when the images
are played back you may notice a drop in resolution or that the edges of the picture are
blacked out.
