The Camera Control Window
Lens
Displays the focal length and maximum ap er ture of the lens currently attached to the cam-
era. De pend ing on the lens type, some in for ma tion may not be displayed. If the lens focal
length or maximum aperture have been specifi ed manually (see below), an asterisk will ap-
pear next to these values.
Edit… (D2H only)
This button is only available when a non-CPU lens is mounted
on the camera. Clicking Edit… displays the dialog shown at
right, where the lens focal length and maximum aperture can
be entered. Click OK to copy the values to the camera.
Main Battery Level
Displays the level of the main camera battery. Green indicates that the battery has enough
charge for continued operation. Yellow indicates that battery level is low; ready a fully
charged spare battery pack. Red indicates that the battery is exhausted, and that no further
pho to graphs can be taken until the battery pack has been replaced. You may not be able to
control the camera from Nikon Capture when the battery is exhausted. Replace with a fully
charged spare battery pack or use an AC adapter (available separately).
Clock Battery Level (D1-series only)
Displays the level of the camera clock battery. Should this display turn yellow or red, have
the clock battery replaced by an authorized Nikon service representative (a fee is charged for
this service).
Self-Timer Mode (D100 Cameras Only)
When the shooting mode dial on the D100 is set to self-timer mode, the Mechanical tab will show a
shooting mode of Single, and any photographs taken with the Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control shoot
but tons will be taken in single-frame mode with no shutter-release delay. To take pictures in self-timer
mode, use the shutter-release button on the camera.
Continuous Mode (D2H Cameras Only)
When the D2H is connected, the amount of memory remaining in the camera memory buffer is dis-
played at the right edge of the simulated LCD panel. This information is updated at regular intervals, but
temporary discrepancies may exist between the display and the actual amount of memory remaining
in the buffer.
Taking Photographs in Continuous Mode
When a D100 is connected or a D1-series camera is in PC mode, continuous shooting can only be per-
formed using the camera shut ter-release button. The shoot buttons in the camera control window can
only be used to take one photograph at a time.
