Main Menu
When in attended operation, this is the menu that will be used the majority of the time. From here the
camera zoom can be controlled, and pictures taken.
O - Toggle Half-Press
This command alternately sets and clears the half-press feature cameras that support it.
The Nikon Coolpix 885, 990, 995, and 5000 utilize an extended command protocol, offering a few
additional functions. Half-press is the same as pressing the camera’s shutter release button half-way down,
whereby the camera will auto-focus, and set the exposure. These operations form the bulk of the delay from
when the shutter release button is pressed, to when the picture is taken. By pre-setting the half-press, the
shutter release delay is reduced to less than 100 mS.
X - Take Picture
Command the camera to take a picture.
If the Half-press is already enabled, the delay will be minimized. If the half-press is not already enabled,
the camera will set the focus and exposure first, adding some delay (up to about 2 seconds).
If the camera power is set for automatic, then the camera will first be powered up and configured, which
will take as much as 15 seconds before actually taking the picture.
T - Zoom Tele
This command alternately starts and stops the zoom process, moving to greater focal lengths.
W - Zoom Wide
This command alternately starts and stops the zoom process, moving to smaller focal lengths.
R - Image Review
Switch to the Image Review Menu.
Typically the extended protocol will be in use for standard operations, but image review requires use of the
standard protocol. The protocol will be switched automatically, but may blank the video signal for a short
period.
S - Start/Stop Simple Time-Lapse
Toggle in and out of STL operation. Depending on how the camera LCD is configured during time-lapse,
the video signal may be disabled.
A - Start/Stop Advanced Time-Lapse
Toggle in and out of STL operation. Depending on how the camera LCD is configured during time-lapse,
the video signal may be disabled.
C - Configuration Menus
Switch to the Configuration Menu.
