[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 276649, member: 8635"] Tip for changing from FX to DX mode on the D600 This is something that you may not use a whole lot but would be nice to have easy access to it if you are out shooting and need the extra reach. It can also be set to work on other buttons such as the FN button but I choose the preview button option because I never use it. The preview button will be found at the bottom right of the lens as viewed from the rear of the camera. 1st go to the custom settings menu, looks like a pencil on the left side of the menu screen, and choose "F" Controls and press the OK button. 2nd choose "F3" Assign preview button and scroll down to Choose image area and press OK Now when you look through the viewfinder and hold down the Preview button you can rotate your thumb or front finger wheel and quickly change between FX and DX modes. In the DX mode you will have a smaller framed box appear on your screen in the viewfinder that will show you just what will be in the DX version of the image when the shutter is pressed. This will quickly give you the option of taking advantage of the 1.5 crop factor if you see that you need it. [/QUOTE]
