The Nikon COOLPIX 990 Guide to Digital Photography

Short Description
Any photographs taken before the time and date have been set will have a time stamp of “2000/01/01 0:00”. Until you have set the time and date, a flashing clock icon will be displayed in the top right corner of the LCD monitor when the camera is set to A-REC or M-REC. The clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable battery, which is charged as necessary when the main batteries are installed. If the camera has been stored with the main batteries removed for a long period of time, the clock may need to be reset. Once the main batteries have been reinserted, the clock battery will recharge in several hours, during which time the batteries should be left in the camera.

When framing photographs in the LCD monitor, you can take advantage of the rotating lens section to hold the camera at almost any angle. You can even rotate the lens to point at yourself and frame self-portraits in the monitor, as shown below (in this case, all indicators are hidden and the monitor shows a mirror image of what will appear in the final photograph).

JPEG compression analyzes images in blocks 8 × 8 pixels in size, and selectively reduces detail within each block. At higher compression ratios, the block pattern becomes more visible and there may be noticeable loss of detail. The actual effect depends on the size of the image when output on a monitor or printer and on the type of subject. While a setting of NORMAL represents the best trade-off between memory and image quality in most cases, a setting of BASIC can be used to save memory. Settings of HI (M-REC only) or FINE are suitable for photographs that will be enlarged or printed at high resolution.
