EV
Exposure Value. A number representing the available combi

nations of shutter speed and aperture that give the same expo

sure effect when the scene brightness and ISO remain the
same.

At ISO 100, the combination of a one-second shutter speed
and an aperture of f/1.4 is defined as EV1.
The camera’s meter may be used only within EV range of the
exposure meter. For example, with the N6006, exposure meter

ing range is from EV0-EV19 at ISO 100 with f/1.4 lens.

Exposure compensation

Exposure compensation for available light is performed by

changing shutter speed and/or aperture via auto exposure

lock lever, exposure compensation button or auto exposure

bracketing.
In flash photography with a Nikon dedicated TTL Speedlight,

exposure compensation is also performed by varying the

amount of flash light output.

Exposure compensation made on camera affects both fore

ground subject and background while varying flash output

amount affects only foreground.

Exposure control
Programmed auto: Camera controls both shutter speed and

aperture for correct exposure.

Shutter-priority auto: User selects shutter speed and camera

chooses aperture for correct exposure.
