Nikon N5005 instruction manual Exposure, Shutter Speed Dial and Aperture Dial

EXPOSURE

Exposure control consists of two parts - aperture control and shutter speed control. The aperture works basically the same way as the iris of the human eye and controls the amount of light passing through the lens. The shutter, located in the camera body, varies the amount of light admitted to the film by opening and closing at different speeds. Together, these two controls deter- mine the amount of light that strikes the film, resulting in exposure control.

Using the shutter speed and aperture dials of the N5005, you can select three different automatic exposure control modes and one manual mode.

SHUTTER SPEED DIAL AND APERTURE DIAL

Always set dials at click-stop positions - never in-between.

The shutter dial locks at the A or L position, and the aperture dial locks at the S position. To release them, rotate the shutter or aperture dial while pressing the dial lock-release button.
