If you've used a smartphone or tablet or another touchscreen device, working with the camera's touchscreen will feel familiar. Just as with those devices, you communicate with the camera by tapping the screen or by dragging one or two fingers across the screen. For example, you can tap a menu option to select it. And during picture playback, you can magnify a photo by placing your thumb and forefinger in the center of the screen and then dragging outward — a maneuver Nikon refers to as a stretch. Dragging inward from the edges of the screen — pinching — reduces the image magnification.

During shooting, you can tap the screen to set focus and take a picture. You also can tell the camera to set focus only or to disable both tap-to-focus and tap-to-shoot. For details on this feature, see the section “Using the Touch Shutter (or Not),” later in this chapter.

By default, the touchscreen is enabled. But if you often inadvertently tap the screen, resulting in an adjustment you didn’t intend, you can disable the touchscreen or use it just for playback. The following steps walk you through the process of adjusting this option and give you some practice in using the touchscreen:

1  Press the Menu button to display the camera menus.Sadly, no touchscreen control takes you to the menus.

2 Tap the Setup menu icon, labeled on the left in Figure 1-11.The options on that menu appear to the right of the icons.FIGURE 1-11: Enable or disable the touchscreen via this Setup menu option.

3 Drag your finger up or down the screen to scroll the menu to the page that contains the Touch Controls option.The scroll bar, labeled in Figure 1-11, indicates how far you scrolled from the top or bottom of the menu.

4 Tap Touch Controls to display the screen shown on the right in Figure 1-11.

5 Tap Enable/Disable Touch Controls to let the camera know when you want to be able to use the touchscreen.You have three options: Playback Only enables the touchscreen for (surprise!) playback only. Disable turns off all touchscreen functions. The default setting, Enable, turns on all touchscreen functions. Tap your choice to return to the first Touch Controls screen. Or, to exit without making any changes, tap the exit arrow in the upper right corner of the screen, labeled on the right in Figure 1-11. If you select Playback Only or Disable, you can’t use the touchscreen to switch back to Enable. You have to use the Multi Selector and OK button to change the menu setting, as outlined in the next section.

6 On the screen shown on the right in Figure 1-11, tap Full-Frame Playback Flicks to set the playback frame-advance direction.At the default setting, shown in the figure, a right-to-left flick scrolls from photo 1 to photo 2, and a flick in the other direction takes you back to picture 1. Choose left-to-right to reverse things. Again, tap your choice or tap the exit arrow to return to the main Touch Controls screen.

7 Tap the exit arrow on the Touch Controls screen to return to the Setup menu.To exit menus and return to shooting, press the shutter button halfway and release it. You also can press the Menu button twice.
