81 T aking Photographs—Focus Manual Focus Manual focus is available for lenses that do not sup port autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lens es) or when the autofocus does not produce the desir ed re sults ( 80).
82 T aking Photographs—Exposure Metering The metering method determines how the cam era sets exposure: Exposure Controlling How the Camera Sets Exposure b6 — C ent er W eight ( 18 3) This option controls the size of the ar ea assigned the greatest weight in center - weighted metering.
83 T aking Photographs—Exposure Exposure Mode Exposure mode determines how the camera sets shutter speed and apertur e when adjusting exposure. Four modes ar e available: programmed auto ( P ), shutter -priority auto ( S ), aperture-priority auto ( A ), and manual ( M ).
84 T aking Photographs—Exposure P: Programmed Auto In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture ac cord ing to a built-in program (see below) for optimal exposure in most sit u a tions.
85 T aking Photographs—Exposure Flexib le Program In programmed auto, dif ferent com bi na tions of shutter speed and ap er ture can be selected by rotating the main com mand dial (“fl exible program”). All combinations pro duce the same ex po sure.
86 T aking Photographs—Exposure S: Shutter -Priority Auto In shutter -priority auto, you choose the shutter speed while the camera au to mat i cal ly selects the aperture that will pr oduce the optimal exposure. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30 s and 1 / 8,000 s.

88 T aking Photographs—Exposure A: Aperture-Priority Auto In aperture-priority auto, you choose the apertur e while the camera au to - mat i cal ly selects the shut ter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f/-numbers) incr ease depth of fi eld, bringing both the main subject and back ground into focus.
89 T aking Photographs—Exposure Non - CPU Lenses If the maximum aperture of the lens has been specifi ed using the Non-CPU lens data item in shooting menu ( 126) when a non-CPU lens is attached, the current f/-number will be displayed in the viewfi nder and top control panel, r ounded to the nearest full stop.
90 T aking Photographs—Exposure M: Manual In manual exposure mode, you contr ol both shutter speed and aperture. Shut ter speed can be set to values between 30 s and 1 / 8,000 s, or the shutter can be held open indefi nitely for a long time-exposure ( ).
91 T aking Photographs—Exposure Non - CPU Lenses If the maximum aperture of the lens has been speci- fi ed using the Non-CPU lens data item in shooting menu ( 121) when a non-CPU lens is attached, the current f/-number will be displayed in the view- fi nder and top control panel, rounded to the near - est full stop.
92 T aking Photographs—Exposure Shutter -Speed and Aperture Lock The button can be used to lock shutter speed at the value selected in shut- ter -priority auto or manual exposure mode, or to lock aperture at the value selected in aperture-priority auto and manual exposur e modes.
93 T aking Photographs—Exposure Autoexposure Lock When center -weighted metering is used, an area in the center of the frame is assigned the greatest weight when determining exposur e. Similarly , when spot metering is used, exposure is based upon lighting conditions in the se- lected focus area.
94 T aking Photographs—Exposure 3 Keeping the AE-L/AF-L but ton pressed, re com pose the pho to graph and shoot. Metere d Ar ea In spot metering, exposure will be locked at the value meter ed in a 3-mm (0.12˝) circle centered on the selected focus ar ea.
