Added Key Functions 

1 - Second Keys 

Certain keys have additional functions when pressed and held for one second or more.  
Nikon refers to these as 

1 - Second Keys

.  The 

MSR

DAT

DSP

USR 

and 

S-O

 keys are all 

1-Second Keys.  We will address the alternate functions of the keys in a later section of this 
class. 

Soft Keys 

The 

MSR1

MSR2

DSP

 and 

ANG

 keys perform additional functions when certain screens 

are displayed.  These keys are referred to by Nikon as 

Soft Keys

.  For example, in the 

Job 

Manager 

screen shown above, pressing the 

MSR1 

key would perform the function 

Creat 

displayed in the screen above it, creating a new job.  Likewise pressing the 

MSR2

 key would 

DEL

, deleting the highlighted job displayed on the screen.  The other soft keys function 

similarly.
