18 NIKON D5000: FROM SNAPSHOTS TO GREAT SHOTS
9. REVIEW YOUR SHOTS
One of the greatest features of a digital camera is its ability to give us instant feed-
back. By reviewing your images on the camera’s LCD screen, you can instantly tell if
you got your shot. This visual feedback allows you to make adjustments on the fl y
and make certain that all of your adjustments are correct before moving on.
When you fi rst press the shutter release button, your camera quickly processes your
shot and then displays the image on the LCD display. The default setting for that
display is only four seconds, which is why I
change my review times (as discussed earlier).
Since we have already adjusted the auto off
timer, let’s check out some of the other visual
information that will really help you when
shooting.
There are two default display modes that
give you different amounts of information
while reviewing your photos. The default
view (Figure 1.5) simply displays your image
along with the image fi le name, date, time,
and image quality setting.
