Nikon has made two changes that impact users of older
Nikon DSLRs:
•
Highlights appear on the main information page.
Some
people are objecting to the compression of information
into a single space (they don’t like having highlights
appear on the page they want to do primary image review
on). There’s a way around this: turn
Highlights
off on the
Display mode
Menu Item and enable them directly on
the
RGB histogram
page.
•
Luminance histograms are now in white.
This
unfortunately has the side effect of making it more difficult
to determine if you’ve blown out the luminance channel,
as the right edge of the chart is also white. Nothing you
can do about that except turn on a highlights display or
examine the channel histograms (you can’t have a blown
luminance channel without at least one individual
channel also blowing out).
You can protect the currently viewed image from deletion
(but not from a card format) by pressing the Protect (
}
)
button while the image is being displayed. A
n
icon appears
at the left top of the image:
Note that protected files are marked with a read-only marker
that persists when you move them to a computer.
Tip:
In Windows, select the read-only file in a Windows Explorer
window. Next select
PROPERTIES
from the
FILE
menu.
