Confirm that automatic multi-

4. pattern metering is in operation by making sure that the metering control button is in the normal “out” position and the red index is not on top (refer to page 40 for more information)

Look through the viewfinder and check the exposure information. The

5. shutter speed you set is shown at The upper right-hand corner. When the shutter release button is depressed halfway, the LCD at the upper left-hand corner shows the aperture (a number preceded by F) selected by the camera to match the shutter speed you selected

If the LCD shows the shutter speed (a number without F), this means you cannot obtain the correct exposure at the shutter speed you selected and the camera is overriding your choice by automatically selecting a slower or Faster speed.

With an Al-modified Nikkor lens, Nikon Teleconverter TC-200, TC-300 or TC-14, PK ring or bellows attachment attached, the LCD shows F - -, instead of the aperture selected by the camera. In the same way, a shutter speed will appear instead of the F - -, if the camera automatically modifies the shutter speed you selected to obtain correct exposure
