your movie. You can simply pre-select the Vivid Picture
Control, which will saturate the colors and darken the
shadows.
Or, you might be shooting on a very high-contrast, sunny day
and want to tone down the contrast a bit. Simply pre-select
the Neutral Picture Control, which will open up the shadows
and extend the dynamic range of the sensor for a
lower-contrast look.
Maybe you are shooting a video of a lovely colorful autumn
scene and want to maximize the colorful look. Simply
pre-select the optional Landscape Picture Control (free
download from Nikon) and your video will be optimized for
beautiful scenery.
Just as with the aperture, you must select the Picture Control
before you start recording the video. Refer to the section
called Set Picture Control in the chapter titled Chapter 3 for
instructions on how to select or modify the various Picture
Controls. Okay, you’ve taken some cool videos; so let’s see
how to view them.
Displaying D-Movies
Now the fun begins! The whole point of this chapter is to
allow you to capture some great videos. There are three ways
to play back one of your cool D-Movies from the camera
itself:
▪ Play it back on the camera’s large LCD Monitor.
▪ Use the included-in-the-box AV cable and connect the
camera to an SDTV.
