LCD

<p>Is there a method of increasing the LCD illumination on a Nikon D1 camera</p>

[paul_k1664875007]

<p>I'm afraid not</p>

<p>Can't remember that option was already availible on that body, and there's no mentioning of it in the review <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1/10">http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1/10</a></p>

<p>It was introduced on the D1H though <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1h/14">http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1h/14</a></p>

<p>(Had the D1 and still have my D1H)</p>

<p>The user manual posted at Nikon talks about only turning lighting on, it's silent about changing levels.</p>

<p>True Jim but Nikons published specs state that the LCD monitor had a brightening feature and I can't get Nikon support to answer.</p>

<p>Update from Nikon USA support:<br>

Sorry, but there is no brightness control for the D1,<br>

NIKON USA SUPPORT.<br>

In reading further I found on page 79 of the original D1 manual a sidebar called "TIPS" almost by accident as the procedure is not described in the operations manual under MONITOR.<br>

When in the "play" mode you can rotate the "sub-control wheel" to increase or decrease the BRIGHTNESS, obviously the tech does not know the operations manual and is issuing bogus opinions. A restaurant is no better than the COOK, in this case Nikon needs to refresh the education of their employees.<br>

Incidentally, the control works fine now.</p>
