Nikon D5100 Experience
Overview will display essential shooting information plus a histogram, so it may be the most
useful view. This guide will go into more detail about all of these items later in the Exposure
and Histogram sections, and why they are important to review for determining that you obtained
the proper or desired exposure of an image. To see each of these various display option views
with an image, take an image, then press the Playback Button to review the image on you rear
Monitor. Now press up or down on the Multi Selector to see the various image displays that you
just selected.
Figure 5 – Playback Display Options menu
Image Review
Use this to set whether or not your images are immediately displayed on the rear LCD Monitor.
If you typically review each image after taking it, turn this On. However, if you don't review
every image, turn it Off to save the battery. Instead hit the Playback Button when you wish to
review an image on the LCD Monitor. You will adjust how long the images are displayed during
review in Custom Setting c2 below.
Rotate Tall
This will automatically rotate your images to the standard orientation in the camera's rear LCD
Monitor during playback. Turn this On and use in conjunction with Auto Image Rotation (in the
Setup Menu below) to view all images in the same camera orientation during playback (meaning
you won't have to rotate your camera to view images you took in portrait orientation). If you
like seeing your vertically composed images bigger but sideways on your rear LCD, set this to
Off.
Slide Show
This seems like a lot of effort for a tiny slideshow, but may be worth it if you run it through a
TV. You can select the interval, or amount of time each slide is displayed.
Print Set (DPOF)
If you print your images straight from the camera to a PictBridge printer, use this to create your
"print order." Select which photos you wish to print through this menu item, then press Done.
Note that NEF (RAW) files can not be selected for printing, only JPEG images.
