En Addenda to the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the D100
Please note the following additions to the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the D100 with the release of version 2.00 of the D100 camera rmware:
Support for Mac OS (pp. 59, 141, 170171, 172174)
From rmware version 2.00, the D100 supports Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), allowing Nikon Capture 3 Camera Control to be used with Macintosh computers (Mac OS X version 10.1.3 or later or Mac OS 9.0.4, 9.1, or 9.2). Camera Control can be used to adjust camera settings from your computer, save photographs directly to your computers hard disk, and download user-dened tone curves to the camera (see pages 59 and 141 of the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the D100). Note that Nikon Capture 3 version 3.5 or later (available separately) is required, and that the camera USB protocol (see below) must be set to PTP.
Choosing a Color Mode (pp. 6061, 142)
Photographs taken in Mode II include an embedded ICC prole, ensuring that the correct color-space settings can be selected automatically when the images are opened in Adobe Photoshop or in other applications that support color management (see the documentation provided with the application for details). Together with its wider gamut, this makes Mode II an excellent choice for images that will be retouched or processed before use. Note, however, that while the system for recording Mode II images is based on Exif and DCF, it is not in strict conformity with these standards. Mode I or Mode III is recommended when taking photographs that will be viewed on other cameras or Exif/DCF-compatible devices, or that will be printed using ExifPrint, the direct printing option on some household printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print services. For information on whether your printer or print service supports ExifPrint, refer to the documentation provided with your printer or speak to your photonisher. For best results, use Nikon View 5 or Nikon Capture 3, which make an excellent addition to any imaging workow. Nikon Capture 3 is unique in its ability to directly edit NEF les without affecting the image quality of the original, and belongs at the rst stage of any production workow involving image editing software.
Custom Settings 25 and 26 (pp. 144, 160)
The menus for Custom Settings 25 and 26 are now as follows:
CSM MENU 26 AF Assist ON Flash Mode Anti-shock OFF MB AEL/AFL Btn Batt Pk Volume 3 CSM MENU 26 AF Assist ON Flash Mode Anti-shock OFF MB AEL/AFL Btn Batt Pk Volume 3 CSM MENU F26 Adjust Play Back Volume
Assign MB-D100 AE-L/AF-L button
The Setup Menu (pp. 161, 172174)
The setup menu (pp. 161166) now contains a USB option that allows you to choose the USB protocol used when the camera is connected to a computer (pp. 172174). Before connecting the camera, choose a USB protocol according to your computers operating system and whether you will be using Nikon Transfer (available in both Nikon View 5 and Nikon Capture 3) or Nikon Capture 3 Camera Control. Two protocols are available: Mass Storage and PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol).
Operating system Windows XP Home Edition* Windows XP Professional* Mac OS X* Windows 2000 Professional Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) Mac OS 9* Nikon Transfer Nikon Capture 3 Camera Control
Choose either PTP or Mass Storage. Choose either PTP or Mass Storage. Choose PTP.
Choose Mass Storage. Choose Mass Storage. Choose PTP.
* Nikon Capture 3 version 3.5 or later required to use Nikon Capture 3 Camera Control with the D100. For information on system requirements, see pages 169171 of the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the D100.

If PTP is selected, you will not need to remove the camera from the system as described on page 174 of the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the D100. Instead, you can turn the camera off and disconnect the cable after verifying that PC is no longer displayed in the camera control panel or viewnder.
File Names for Voice Memos Recorded Using the MB-D100
Voice memos recorded using the MB-D100 multi-function battery pack (available separately) are stored on the camera memory card as audio les with names of the form DSC_nnnn.WAV.
