The Playback, Shooting, and Setup Menus

The Nikon V1 offers an amazing degree of adjustments for a camera in its price range. This versatility has made the V1 popular among advanced amateurs. You can enjoy this flexibility, too. If your camera doesn’t behave in exactly the way you’d like, chances are you can make a small change in the Playback, Shooting, and Setup menus that will tailor the V1 to your needs.

This chapter will help you sort out the settings for these menus. As I’ve mentioned before, this book isn’t intended to replace the manual you received with your V1, nor have I any interest in rehashing its contents. There is, however, some unavoidable duplication between the Nikon manual and the content of this chapter, because I’m going to explain all the key menu choices and the options you may have in using them. You should find, though, that I will give you the information you need in a much more helpful format, with plenty of detail on why you should make some settings that are particularly cryptic.
