Step 5—Ready the camera
The COOLPIX 900’s color LCD monitor is joined to the lens
by a rotating hinge, allowing the user to hold the camera at
almost any angle while making photographs. When framing
photographs in the monitor, the camera can be held as shown
below.
The color LCD monitor gives an accurate indication of how the
final photograph will turn out, adjusted for exposure, focus, and
zoom. In order to save power, you may however wish to turn
the monitor off when not using the camera’s menus. In this
case, hold the camera as shown below to frame photographs in
the viewfinder.
Note: Be sure that the lens and flash window are not obstructed
by your fingers, hair, the camera strap, power cord, or video cable.
Note: In self-portrait mode (with the lens rotated to point at the
user), a mirror image of the view through the lens will be shown in
the monitor and camera settings will be hidden. Photographs
taken in this mode will not however be reversed.
