You can also select one of the fully automatic modes using the mode dial. The
Auto and Auto (Flash Off) modes are available directly from the dial. Select
SCENE for access to the other exposure modes. U1 and U2 are positions that
activate custom sets of adjustments that you specify, as described later:
Auto. In this mode, the D7200 makes all the exposure decisions for you,
n
and will pop up the internal flash if necessary under low-light conditions.
The camera automatically focuses on the subject closest to the camera
(unless you've set the lens to manual focus), and the autofocus assist illu-
minator lamp on the front of the camera will light up to help the camera
focus in low-light conditions.
Auto (Flash Off). Identical to Auto mode, except that the flash will not
n
pop up under any circumstances. You'd want to use this in a museum,
during religious ceremonies, concerts, or any environment where flash is
forbidden or distracting.
SCENE. Rotate the dial to the SCENE position, then spin the main com-
n
mand dial on the back of the camera to select any of the following scene
modes:
Portrait. Use this mode when you're taking a portrait of a subject
n
standing relatively close to the camera and want to de-emphasize the
background, maximize sharpness, and produce flattering skin tones.
The built-in flash will pop up if needed.
Landscape. Select this mode when you want extra sharpness and rich
n
colors of distant scenes. The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator are
disabled.
Child. Use this mode to accentuate the vivid colors often found in
n
children's clothing, and to render skin tones with a soft, natural-looking
texture. The D7200 focuses on the closest subject to the camera. The
built-in flash will pop up if needed.
Sports. Use this mode to freeze fast-moving subjects. The D7200
n
selects a fast shutter speed to stop action, and focuses continuously on
the center focus point while you have the shutter release button pressed
halfway. However, you can select one of the other two focus points to
the left or right of the center by pressing the multi selector left/right
buttons. The built-in electronic flash and focus assist illuminator lamp
are disabled.
Close Up. This mode is helpful when you are shooting close-up pic-
n
tures of a subject from about one foot away or less, such as flowers,
bugs, and small items. The D7200 focuses on the closest subject in the
center of the frame, but you can use the multi selector right and left
buttons to focus on a different point. Use a tripod in this mode, as
