The following settings can be adjusted from the Exposure 1 tab:

NIKON CAMERA CONTROL PRO - The Exposure 1 Tab - 1

Exposure ModeThis menu can be used to set the exposure mode for D2- and D1-series and D200 cameras. If a D100 is connected, or if Enable controls on the camera body is checked when a D70S, D70, or D50 is connected, it will show the current exposure mode but the mode itself must be selected using the camera function dial. See the camera manual for details.
Shutter SpeedShutter speed can only be adjusted in Manual and Speed Priority modes, when it can be set to values between the maximum and minimum values supported by the camera. Use high shutter speeds to freeze motion, low shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects.
ApertureAperture can only be adjusted in Manual and Aperture Priority modes, when it can be set to values between maximum and minimum aperture (small apertures have high f-numbers, wide apertures low f-numbers; the actual apertures available depend on the lens used). Aperture can not be controlled from Camera Control Pro when Custom Setting 22 has been set to allow aperture to be adjusted manually using the lens aperture ring (D1-series only).

NIKON CAMERA CONTROL PRO - The General Tab - 1

While Camera Control Pro is running, keep camera awakeChoose how long the exposure meters remain on when the camera is operated on battery power. This setting only takes effect when the camera is connected and powered on with Camera Control Pro running, and takes precedence over the auto meter off option chosen using camera Custom Settings. Cameras powered by an AC adapter and D2-series, D100, D200, D70S, D70, and D50 cameras will stay awake indefinitely, regardless of the setting chosen here.
for 15 minutes (D1-series only): The exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for 15 minutes.
Always: The exposure meters remain on indefinitely. Note that this will increase the drain on the battery.
Folder for temporary data /Volume for tempo- rary dataSpecify the folder or volume in which temporary data, such as image cache data, will be stored. The default folder for Windows is the “TEMP” folder in the Windows directory, while the default volume for the Macintosh is the start-up disk.

Use profile for printing: If this option is checked, you can choose a profile for print-ing by clicking the Browse... button. The selected profile will appear in the adjacent text box. If this option is not checked, the default RGB color space will be used.
Intent: If you have chosen to use a printer profile, the type of matching to be performed can be selected from Relative and Perceptual. (Depending on the profile, changing the matching method may produce no change in output. This option is not supported with some profiles; consult the manufacturer for de-tails.)• Relative: Colors not in the gamut of the selected printer profile will be printed using the closest colors available. Other colors are not affected.• Perceptual: If the image contains colors not in the gamut of the selected printer profile, all colors in the image will be compressed to fit the gamut.

Camera Control Pro Preferences

Multiple Displays

In a multiple display environment, choose a single profile suited to all displays.

Default Display Profile

The default Windows display profile is "NKMonitor_win.icm." This profile is equivalent to sRGB.

Supported Color Profiles

Camera Control Pro supports only ICC (International Color Consortium) monitor and CMYK profiles. Particular care should be exercised when choosing a CMYK profile, as the profile supplied by the manufacturer of your output device may not be an ICC profile.

See "RGB Color-Space Profiles" for a list of the RGB color-space profiles supplied with Camera Control Pro. The "NKCMYK.icm" CMYK profile provided with Camera Control Pro is a general-purpose, almost neutral profile that is not based on a specific ink set, making it suited for use where output conditions are not known.

The Color Management Tab

Changes to settings in the Color Management tab also apply to PictureProject. They are not reflected in Capture NX (available separately).

RGB Color Space Profiles

Profiles with a Gamma Value of 1.8

Color profileWindowsMacintoshDescription
Apple RGBNKApple.icmNikon Apple RGB 4.0.0.3000This profile is used in desk-top publishing applications and in Adobe Photoshop versions 4.0 or earlier, and is the typical RGB profile for Macintosh monitors. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is “Apple RGB.” This profile is suitable for working with images displayed on the Macintosh.
Color-Match RGBNKCMatch.icmNikon Color-Match RGB 4.0.0.3000The ColorMatch profile is native to Radius PressView monitors. It has a wider gamut than Apple RGB, with a particularly wide area devoted to the reproduction of blues. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is “Color Match RGB.”

Profiles with a Gamma Value of 2.2

Color profileWindowsMacintoshDescription
sRGBNKsRGB.icmNikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001This RGB profile is used in the majority of Windows monitors. It closely resembles the RGB commonly used in color television, and is also used in the digital television broadcasting system that is on its way to becoming the industry standard in the United States of America. Software and hardware manufacturers use it as a default color profile and guarantee operation when it used. It is also on its way to becoming the standard for images on the web. This profile is suited to users who plan to use their digital images “as is,” without editing or printing them. It however suffers from the drawback of a narrow gamut with a limited area available for reproducing blues. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and 5.5 is “sRGB,” the corresponding setting in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 “sRGB IWC61966-2.1.”
Bruce RGBNKBruce.icmNikon Bruce RGB 4.0.0.3000This color profile attempts to expand on the ColorMatch RGB gamut by defining the chromaticity for G as lying between the values for G in the Adobe RGB and ColorMatch color-space profiles. It was proposed by Bruce Fraser, who claims that it includes most of the colors in the SWOP CMYK gamut. The R and B used in the Bruce RGB and Adobe RGB color-space profiles match.

RGB Color Space Profiles

NTSC (1953)NKNTSC.icmNTSC (1953) 4.0.0.3000This is the color space for video defined by the National Tele- vision Standards Committee (NTSC) in 1953 and used in early color televisions. This color space is also used in some Far-East newspaper and printing organizations. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "NTSC (1953)."
Adobe RGB (1998)NKAdobe. icmNikon Adobe RGB (1998) 4.0.0.3000A color-space profile defined in Adobe Photoshop 5.0. It has a wider gamut than sRGB and includes the colors found in most CMYK gamuts, making it suitable for users involved in desktop publishing. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photo- shop 5.0 is "SMPTE-240M," the corresponding setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.5 or later "Adobe RGB (1998)."
CIE RGBNKCIE.icmNikon CIE RGB 4.0.0.3000A video color-space profile established by the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE). While it boasts a fairly wide gamut, it suffers from the drawback that the area devoted to the reproduction of cyan is relatively small. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "CIE RGB."
Adobe Wide RGBNKWide.icmNikon Adobe- Wide RGB 4.0.0.3000This color-space profile, designed by Adobe, incorporates most of the visible colors. This however has the consequence that most of the colors it can express can not be reproduced on standard monitors and printers. The corresponding RGB set- ting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is "Adobe Wide RGB."
