single-axis horizontal direction. If you are a private or
commercial pilot, you’ll feel right at home with this new
tool since it resembles the artificial horizon you use to
keep the wings level. All the other symbols are also
displayed in this screen, as described in Figure 8-6.
Now, let’s take a look at the various symbols found on some
of the Live View screens. Many of these symbols will also
show in the D300S D-Movie mode (see Figure 8-6). I
photographed these screens with the lens cap on in order to
allow you to better see the symbols on the screens without a
picture in the background. Your screens won’t be black.
On the screen shown in Figure 8-6, you’ll see the small red
letters—A through N—that I inserted to give you a guide.
Refer to those letters in the upcoming discussion of each
symbol:
▪ A – This symbol changes between a tiny hand holding a
camera, which represents Hand-held mode, and a small
camera with three legs sticking out below it, which
represents Tripod mode. Tripod mode is shown in
Figure 8-6.
