NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens (except G-type)

2 Set the shutter speed and aperture and confirm by looking at the electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder.

•Set the shutter speed by rotating the Main-Command Dial and the aperture by rotating the Sub-Command Dial. These functions can be set independently.

•Long Time exposure (Bulb) can be set by setting the shutter speed to buLb (page 65).

Always set the aperture ring of a CPU Nikkor lens (except G-type) to its minimum (largest f-number). When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter locks.

•When a non-CPU Nikkor lens is attached, ƒ--appears in the LCD panel and viewfinder. Set/confirm aperture with the lens aperture ring. Camera’s exposure meter cannot be used. See “Lens Compatibility” on page 34 for details.

c 12: Shutter speed can be set to change with the Sub-Command Dial and aperture with the Main-Command Dial (page 74).
