Frequently Asked Questions - D610 NIKON

How to set the date and time on the Nikon D610?

Turn on the camera, the first power-on displays the date and time setting dialog. You can also access it via the Setup menu > Time zone and date. Select your time zone, date format, enable or disable daylight saving time, then set the exact time.

How to format a memory card?

Go to the Setup menu > Format memory card. Select the slot (1 or 2) and confirm. Note: formatting erases all data. It is recommended to format cards in the camera rather than on a computer.

How to use the self-timer?

Turn the release mode dial to Self-timer (clock symbol). Press the shutter button: the photo is taken after an adjustable delay (default 10 s). You can change the delay in the Custom Settings menu > c3 Self-timer.

How to clean the image sensor?

Use the Clean image sensor function in the Setup menu. You have two options: Clean now (vibrates the sensor) or Clean at startup/shutdown (automatically cleans each time the camera is turned on/off). For manual cleaning, use Mirror lock-up/cleaning and follow the instructions in the manual.

How to activate the HDR function?

In the Shooting menu, select HDR (high dynamic range). Choose the mode (Auto, Series, etc.), exposure difference (1, 2, 3 EV), and smoothing. The camera combines two shots to increase dynamic range.

How to focus manually?

Set the focus mode selector on the lens to M (manual). Turn the focus ring until you get a sharp image in the viewfinder. You can use the electronic range finder (focus indicator in the viewfinder) to assist.

How to transfer photos to a computer?

Connect the camera to the computer using the supplied USB cable UC-E15. Turn on the camera. The computer detects the camera as a removable disk. You can copy image files. For simplified use, install the ViewNX 2 software provided on the CD.

What to do if an error message appears?

Refer to the Error messages section in the manual (page 322). For example, a 'Memory card locked' message means the card's write-protect switch is in the Lock position. 'System error' may require turning the camera off and on or removing the battery.

How to use the built-in flash?

The built-in flash pops up automatically in Auto and Scene modes if needed. In P, S, A, M modes, press the Flash button (lightning bolt) to pop it up. You can adjust the flash mode (TTL, manual, etc.) using the same button and the main command dial.

How to choose the autofocus mode?

Press the AF mode button (near the lens mount) and turn the main command dial to choose between AF-S (single autofocus), AF-C (continuous), or AF-A (auto). Turn the sub-command dial to choose the AF area mode (39 points, 11 points, dynamic area, etc.).
