load the images into your computer they already will be sorted into folders. I find
this extremely helpful!

Magnifying Glass / ENTER:

During playback: Press to zoom in on image. When you do this you can zoom in more by
pressing the checkerboard button and spinning the rear dial. You can use the thumb
switch to scroll around the image. I prefer to set a trick mode to zoom in a lot more by
pressing the center of the thumb navigation button.

While in the menus: takes action on what you've set.

AE-L AF-L (Top center):

Hold this to lock settings while shooting. You can alter what

this button does in the Custom Setting Menu

and

AF-ON:

Focuses the lens but doesn't take a picture.

This button is helpful if you disable the AF from activating when you press the D200's
shutter in this

. If you do then you can focus with this button, and have an AF lock

when you release it. I'd rather it was a self-timer, but Nikon didn't ask me about this one.

Thumb Button:

Used for menu navigation, selecting AF areas , scrolling through

playback images and a whole lot more.

You can configure this button in custom setting

and

. I set mine to zoom way into an

image when pressed in the center.

TRICK: If you set a

center push to zoom on playback

, you can spin the rear dial to

move to different images at the same position and zoom! This makes it easy to pick
out the sharpest image. Unfortunately as soon as you hit the delete key it goes back
to unmagnified, sort of making this less useful for in-camera selection and deletion.

L / * on Thumb Button: this is a lock. It's smart: it only locks the AF selection. It doesn't lock
you from anything else.
