Nikon D5100 Experience
Video Mode
Set for NTSC in North America, PAL in Europe and Australia.
HDMI
If you hook up your camera to a TV or other monitor via the HDMI output to view video or an
image slideshow, use this to select the resolution of the TV or monitor, or leave it on Auto and let
the camera determine the setting. Leave Device Control set to On and you can use your TV
remote to control the playback or slideshow.
Flicker Reduction
If you are shooting video or using Live View under fluorescent or mercury-vapor lighting, the
camera's rear LCD Monitor may flicker or show banding. If this occurs, change this setting to a
different frequency that gives you better results.
Time Zone and Date
Pretty self-explanatory. You probably set this when you first turned the camera on.
Language
Set to your language – self-explanatory.
Image Comment
You can use this to add a comment to a new photo or to all subsequent photos. The comment
will be visible in the metadata of the image when viewed in Nikon's ViewNX 2 software or
optional Capture NX 2 software. Turn on Attach Comment to attach it to all the following
photos, or turn it off to stop.
Auto Image Rotation
Turn this On so that your images are automatically rotated during playback in your camera and
in image processing software. Unless you have a specific reason for not turning this on, it will
save you considerable time during processing.
Image Dust Off Reference Photo
This is used to collect reference data that can be used in post-processing with the optional
Capture NX 2 software to automatically eliminate dust spots from images. It is better to actually
eliminate the dust spots with automatic or manual sensor cleaning.
GPS
If you have the optional GP-1 GPS unit, use this menu item to configure some options and to
view your GPS position.
Eye-Fi Upload
This option is available when using an Eye-Fi memory card and will enable you to wirelessly
transmit your photos from the card to a computer or other storage device. Be sure to Enable it if
you are using an Eye-Fi card.
