PROGRAMMED AUTO EXPOSURE MODE -

Auto Multi-Program automatically sets the best combination of shutter speed and lens aperture, making it the easiest exposure mode to use.

Because lenses of different focal length handle differently at slow shutter speeds, picture sharpness varies with the shutter speed used. The slowest shutter speed recommended for any lens when hand-holding the camera is 1/(focal length) of the lens. With a 60mm lens, for example, use 1/60 sec. as the slow- est hand-held speed. Keep in mind, however, that 1/30 sec. is the lowest recommended shutter speed for blur-free hand-held shooting. The exposure program line for N5005'sAuto Multi- Program varies according to the focal length and maximum aperture of the lens. The following chart shows how the possi- bility of picture blur is reduced by avoiding slower shutter speeds.

The EV (exposure value) charts demonstrate the differences among program lines of various lenses. Follow either colored line to where it intersects a diagonal line. This shows the com- bination of aperture (vertical line) and shutter speed (horizontal line) that will automatically be selected at each EV brightness level.
