CHAPTER

Exploring the
Nikon D600
T
his chapter covers the
key components of the
D600, including the buttons,
switches, dials, and knobs.
These are the features you
most need to master
because you will use them
all the time as you modify
settings to adapt to chang-
ing shooting conditions.
The D600 is very similar
to its DX sibling the D7000
and, indeed, was designed
with this camera in mind. If
you’re upgrading to FX from
the D7000, you will feel
instantly at home. If you’re
stepping up from a D5100 or
a D3200, the number of con-
trols may surprise you. If you
are accustomed to using one
of Nikon’s compact pro bod-
ies such as the D300s, D700,
or D800, you will de nitely
notice the difference in the
control layout.
Getting to know all your camera’s menus, buttons, and
dials allows you to capture your images just as you
envision them.
