Manual Record Mode Menus
(First Screen)
o White Bal - White balance setting. This sub-menu provides no less than seven different settings: Auto, manual white point, sunny, incandescent, fluorescent, cloudy, and flash. We couldn't test the manual white point option with our prototype model, but understand its intended function: You'd select this option, then aim the camera at a white surface lit by the same illumination as your eventual subject. The camera will read the RGB values from the known white surface, and set the white balance as appropriate. (If you think about it, this can give you tremendous creative control, if you had a range of very subtly colored off-white targets: You could force the camera's white balance to a color opposite that of the "white" target - warm-toned off-white targets would produce a cooler color balance, and cool-toned ones a warmer balance!)
o Metering - Sub-menu selects matrix, spot, or center-weighted average metering patterns.
o Continuous - Continuous shooting modes. Sub-menu selects between single-shot, continuous full-resolution (with resolution determined by the current image quality setting), VGA sequence, or 16-shot sequence (in which each frame is sub-divided into 16 smaller images).
o Img Adjust - This is an interesting adjustment that we touched on briefly earlier. It provides for changing the brightness and contrast of the image, but is much more intelligent than the overall exposure compensation. Nikon tells us it uses a brightness histogram internally, to adjust midtone values without losing highlights or shadows. Options include brightness plus or minus, and contrast plus or minus.
o BestShot - Options are on or off. Phenomenally useful feature, selecting the least-blurry picture from five captured in rapid succession. (See earlier discussion)
o Dig Tele - Digital Telephoto. Sub-menu options are auto (digital tele selected via operation of the lens zoom controls), 2.5x, 2.0x, 1.6x, 1.25x, and off.
o B/W - Black/White mode select. Options are on/off.
(Second Screen)
o Folders - See earlier description under Auto Record Mode menus.
o Lens - Special camera setups for normal, wide adapter, telephoto adapter, or fisheye adapter. (For instance, "wide" forces the lens to the widest-angle setting, for use in conjunction with the wide-angle adapter.) Shutter-speed program also shifts to favor shorter or longer shutter speeds as appropriate for the adapter type selected.
o AE Lock - For use when taking multiple shots for use in a panorama series. Exposure and white balance will be set when the first shot is taken after enabling this option, then remain the same until reset.
o User Set - The CoolPix 950 can remember up to three different "setups", retaining settings for virtually all aspects of camera operation. This lets you make radical changes in the camera setup very quickly, for instance, moving from a setup suited for flash photography to one set up for available-light, with a tungsten white balance.
o Card Format - (Described earlier)
o Reset All - Resets all settings to factory defaults.
o Set Up - Takes you to third screen, described immediately below. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/C950/C950A.HTM
