Shooting in Each Exposure Mode

—continued

Exposure

•

™

: Shutter-Priority Auto

Enables you to manually set your desired
shutter speed (30-1/8000 sec.); the
camera automatically selects the proper
aperture to provide correct exposure. With
high shutter speeds, you can freeze the
motion of a fast-moving subject; with
slower speeds, you can create a blurry,
motion effect.

• Shutter-Priority Auto can only be

selected with CPU lens.

Set the shutter speed by rotating the Main-Command
Dial.

Rotate the Main-Command Dial while pressing the
exposure mode ∆ button to select ™.

• When CPU Nikkor lens other than G-type is not set to its minimum aperture

setting, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and shutter locks.

• When a non-CPU lens is attached, exposure mode automatically switches

to Aperture-Priority Auto. ™ blinks in the LCD panel and A appears in the
viewfinder. Set/confirm aperture with the lens aperture ring since ƒ--
appears instead of the aperture value in the LCD panel and viewfinder.

: Shutter speed can be set to change with Sub-Command Dial

(page 73).

Locking shutter speed

To lock the shutter speed set in step 2,
rotate the Main-Command Dial while
pressing the shutter speed/aperture
lock button — so shutter speed lock
indication ¬ appears in the LCD panel
and viewfinder. To release the lock,
rotate the Main-Command Dial while
pressing the shutter speed/aperture lock button — so shutter speed
lock indication ¬ disappears in the LCD panel and viewfinder.

Compose picture, focus and shoot.

• When the subject is too dark or bright, one of the following warning

indications will appear in the LCD panel or viewfinder. (Electronic analog
exposure display will also indicate the amount of under- or overexposure.)
•

: Select higher shutter speed. If the warning indication still remains

on, use ND filter.

•

: Select a slower shutter speed. If the warning indication still remains

on, use Speedlight.

: Shutter speed/aperture value displayed in the LCD panel and

viewfinder can be set to change in steps of 1/2 or one (page 71).
