A look at the D50's menus
The Nikon D50 and the D70s have tidied-up menu screens with a more easy on the eye yellow, black and grey colour scheme.
Navigation is quite straightforward and as you can see below, there are some nice touches to round-off the menu system nicely. Menu navigation proved to be quick and instant, with little confusion or mis-keying, though the image annotation feature is rather long-winded to use.
The available options are sometimes very sophisticated for a camera that is probably going to be bought by less ambitious photographers, but it's good news for keen photographers unable to stretch to a D70.
We'll investigate the D50 menu options in greater depth when we review the camera fully.
The new menus mainly use shades of
yellow and grey and some green.
The camera symbol denotes 'shooting'
menu mode.
Simultaneous JPEG and RAW file
shooting mode is provided.
Providing a grey scale to calibrate
the monitor screen is a nice touch
Setup menu houses a miscellany
of settings options.
Short phrases can be input to
annotate individual frames
The D50's ISO setting range lacks
both 100 and 3200 options
There are plenty of options if you
like in-camera image processing
Three image resolutions are offered..
..though the minimum resolution is
no smaller than 1504x1000
White balance options are pretty
comprehensive.
Custom calibration of white balance can be based on a previous photo.
