The overlaid indicators include:
■ Shooting mode. This indicator shows the mode dial position you’ve selected,
including any of the PASM (Program, Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority, and
Manual) modes, as well as one of the Scene modes. You can change modes while
Live View is active. This indicator appears on the LCD even when shooting infor-
mation is turned off.
■ Audio recording indicator. Shows when a microphone is being used.
■ No Movies Possible. This shows that it is not possible to shoot movies, because
there is not enough space remaining on your memory card.
■ Live View time remaining. This is displayed when the amount of shooting time
in Live View mode is 30 seconds or less. Although Live View is possible for 60 min-
utes, if the D7000 overheats, this countdown display appears and the camera exits
Live View before damage is done.
■ Current AF mode. Shows AF-S, AF-F, or M focus.
■ Current AF-area. Shows whether Face-priority, Wide-area, Normal-area, or
Subject-tracking autofocus will be used. This indicator still appears when the align-
ment grid is displayed, even when other shooting information is turned off.
■ Active D-Lighting status. Shows the D-Lighting that will be applied.
■ Focus point. Shows the appropriate focus indicator for the AF-area mode in use.
■ Image Size. Displays the current resolution, L (Large), M (Medium), or S (Small).
■ Image Quality. Shows JPEG Image Quality: Fine, Norm, or Basic.
