Camera cods and program mode using.?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Digital Monday Apr 26, 2010Hi,
I am a photographer and would like to know more about the english words used as codes or short cut in digital cameras. For example : what is the meaning for ISO as I know for what it used but I want to know what the I.S.O letters means ?
what is SLR?
AF?
FX?
NX?
I also have a problem in surfing the net to know how to use the program mode in digital cameras, all what i found is for small cameras like Nikon D80 but I want to know how to use it in Nikon D3.
Thanks allot 
Hi again, sorry I couldnt reply u in other way than this, first thanks for ur helpful answer,
I am sorry for my english u missunderstood me, I am a photographer who is learning many things, I use digital camera Nikon D3 I always use manual as I know the light meter and how to adjust the ISO and white balance also the shutter speed and the exposure, but what i needed to know ,Iall learnd it using arabic words i wanted to know how you say it in english, my friend tought me ISO in arabic explantion but couldnt figure out the english name when i want to translate it it wont give me any thing thats why i needed help here.i know AF is autofocus but sometimes they use it when talking about other things which it makes me confused. no shame of asking
and as i am using manual all the time i tryd to use program last week but it gives me bright pictures if i am using the studio lights, what i know that i cant control AF mode but what about porogram ?
thanks allot
You are still in the film arena, huh? Well ISO is the relative sensitivity of the sensor (or film) and are directly related to the old ASA sensitivities, so I am surprised you don’t know about this. I.S.O. are the initials used to designate International Standards Organization. Those 40 foot containers you see on container ships, are indeed called ISO containers because the conform to ISO specifications.
And also as a photographer, I am super surprised you don’t know what a SLR is, after all, photographers have been using them professionally since before 1960. SLR, is Single Lens Reflex
AF, Auto-Focus
FX, full frame digital camera
NX is a program written by Nikon to process RAW files.
There is basically NO difference between the program modes when using any of the Nikon DSLR cameras
As a photographer, I am surprised that you even use the Program mode, rather as a photographer, I would expect you would be shooting mostly in the manual mode using the light meter to determine the proper exposure.
What camera are you using now as a photographer … ?
All the specific features on each DSLR are discussed in the owners manual.
