Choosing a Release Mode

The release mode determines when (and how often) the D7000 makes an exposure. Your D7000 has seven release (shooting) modes: Single frame, two continuous shooting options (Low and High), Quiet shutter release, Self-timer, Remote control, and Mirror Up. Set any of these by pressing the release mode lock button southwest of the large dial on the top-left edge of the camera, and rotating the outer dial to the mode you want. (See Figure 1.6, earlier.) I’ll explain what each of these modes does in Chapter 2.
