With the D7000, the multi selector is used extensively for navigation, for example, to
navigate among menus on the LCD or to choose one of the 39 focus points, to advance
or reverse display of a series of images during picture review, or to change the kind of
photo information displayed on the screen. The center button is used to select a high-
lighted item from a menu.
So, from time to time in this chapter (and throughout this book) I’ll be referring to the
multi selector and its left/right/up/down buttons, and center button.
The main command dial and sub-command dial are located on the rear and front of
the D7000, respectively. The main command dial is used to change settings such as
shutter speed, while the sub-command dial adjusts an alternate or secondary setting.
For example, in Manual exposure mode, you’d use the sub-command dial to change
the aperture, while the main command dial is used to change the shutter speed. (In
both cases, the dial is “active” for these adjustments only when the D7000’s exposure
meter is On.) The meter will automatically go to sleep after an interval (you’ll learn
how to specify the length of time in Chapter 9), and you must waken the camera (just
tap the shutter release button) to switch the meter back on and activate the main and
sub-command dials.
