Nikon Nikon Nikomat FT, Nikon FA Basic Operation, Shutter Speed/Aperture Combinations in S mode

BASIC OPERATION	continued
Warning Indications		Shutter Speed/Aperture Combinations in S mode

If the LCD shows Hl, this means the scene is too bright, indicating overexposure may occur. In this case, use a neutral density ( ND) filter or change to a slower speed film

If the LCD displays Lo, this means the scene is too dark, indicating underexposure may occur. In this case, use an electronic flash or change to faster film

If the LCD shows FEE, this means you failed to set the lens to its minimum aperture and the scene is too bright for the aperture s U (If you failed to set the lens to its minimum aperture and FEE does not appear, you can still get correct exposure ) In this case, reset the lens to its minimum aperture. When using an Al modi- fied Nikkor lens, Nikon Teleconverter TC 200, TC-300 or TC 14, or PK ring, the FEE warning will not appear; however, the cor- rect exposure can be obtained until Hl appears, but the opera- tive metering range will be reduced. So, for best results, be sure to set the aperture to its minimum.

The graph shows the shutter speed/aperture combination in the S mode at ASA/ISO 100. The red line represents an AI-S or Al-Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens at a shutter speed of 1/125 sec, while the black line for the same lens used at 1/30 sec The green line represents the control when the aperture ring is set by mistake to settings other than the minimum aperture (in this case, f/5.6). Solid lines represent the usable metering range for the lens when automatic multi-pattern metering is in use, solid and dot- ted lines show the usable metering range with centerweighted metering
