David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D7100 2
Introducing Menus and the Multi Selector
You’ll find descriptions of most of the controls used with the Nikon D7100 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 top left of the LCD. When you want to
access a menu, press it. To exit most menus, press it again. (See Figure 1.2,
left.)
■ Multi selector pad. A thumbpad-sized button with projections at the
north, south, east, and west “navigational” positions, plus a button in the
center (see Figure 1.2, right). With the D7100, the multi selector is used
for navigation—for example, to navigate among menus on the LCD or to
choose one of the 51 focus points, to advance or reverse display of a series
of images during picture review, or to change the kind of photo informa-
tion displayed on the screen using the Info button.
■ OK button. Located in the center of the multi selector pad, the OK but-
ton is used to confirm your choices and send the image currently being
viewed to the Retouch menu for modification.
