minimum aperture is F/22, shown as F22. The aperture is
controlled with the front Sub-command dial.
▪ M – This symbol shows the camera’s current ISO
sensitivity setting. This can vary from L 1.0 (100 ISO) to
H 1.0 (6400 ISO). The camera’s normal ISO range is
200 to 3200, with the extended Lo and Hi settings. If you
have Custom setting b1 – ISO sensitivity step value set
to 1/3 step, you will see this symbol change in 1/3 EV
steps—or 1/2, or 1 EV step, if selected. You adjust the
value this symbol reflects by holding down the ISO
button on top of the camera (above the Release mode
dial) while rotating the rear Main command dial.
▪ N – This final symbol shows the remaining number of
images you can fit on the camera’s memory card. If you
are shooting in JPEG or compressed NEF (RAW), this
number often does not reflect reality. Look at it as the
minimum number of images that will fit. In reality, the
actual count is often double this number. The camera
estimates the value based on current image compression
levels and is very conservative to protect you.
Keep in mind that Live View mode is the basis for shooting
D-Movies. We will now move on into section two and see
how D-Movie mode works for the D300S (only).
