David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D52002
Introducing Menus and the Multi Selector
You’ll find descriptions of most of the controls used with the Nikon D5200 in
Chapter 2, which provides a complete “roadmap” of the camera’s buttons and
dials and switches. However, you may need to perform a few tasks during this
initial setup process, and most of them will require the MENU button and the
multi selector pad.
■ MENU button. It’s located to the left of the LCD monitor. When you
want to access a menu, press it. To exit most menus, press it again.
■ Multi selector pad. A thumbpad-sized button with projections at the
North, South, East, and West “navigational” positions, plus a button in
the center marked “OK” (see Figure 1.2). With the D5200, the multi
selector is used exclusively for navigation; for example, to navigate among
menus on the LCD monitor or to choose one of the 39 focus points, to
advance or reverse display of a series of images during picture review, or to
change the kind of photo information displayed on the screen. The OK
button is used to confirm your choices and send the image currently being
viewed to the Retouch menu for modification.
Setting the Clock
The in-camera clock might have been set for you by someone checking out
your camera prior to delivery. Press the MENU button to the left of the view-
finder, and then use the multi selector to scroll down to the Setup menu (it’s
marked with a wrench icon), press the multi selector button to the right, and
then press the down button to scroll down to Time Zone and Date, and press
the right button again. The options for setting the 24-hour clock will appear
on the screen that appears next. They include Time Zone, actual Date and
Time, Date Format, and Daylight Saving Time (on/off).
