Balanced fill-flash operation

A method of flash photography which keeps flash brightness in balance with the ambient light. N6000 provides automatic balanced fill-flash operation with Nikon-dedicated TIL con- trolled Speedlights.

Center-Weighted metering

An SLR light meter, invented by Nikon, which concentrates its sensitivity on the center portion of the camera'sviewing areas.

CPU

Central Processing Unit. The electronic component which con- trols equipment functions.

AF Nikkor and AI-P-Nikkor lenses have a built-in CPU.

Depth of field

The zone of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject on which the lens is focused.

OX code

Film information code printed on the film cartridge. The N6000, set at auto film speed setting mode, automatically senses the fi lm speed (ISO 25 to 5000) of OX-coded film the instant it is loaded.

EV

Exposure Value. A number representing the available combi- nations of shutter speed and aperture that give the same expo- sure effect when the scene brightness and ISO remain the same.

At ISO 100, the combination of a one-second shutter speed

and an aperture of 111.4 is defined as EV1 .

The camera'smeter may be used only within EV range of the exposure meter. For example, with the N6000, exposure meter- ing range is from EVO-EV19 at ISO 100 with 111.4 lens.

Exposure compensation

Exposure compensation for available light is performed by changing shutter speed and/or aperture via auto exposure lock lever, exposure compensation button or auto exposure bracketing.

In flash photography with a Nikon-dedicated TIL Speed light, exposure compensation is also performed by varying the amount 6f flash light output.

Exposure compensation made on camera affects both fore- ground subject and background while varying flash output amount affects only foreground.

Exposure control

Programmed auto: Camera controls both shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure.

Shutter-priority auto: User selects shutter speed and camera chooses aperture for correct exposure.

Aperture-priority auto: User selects aperture and camera chooses shutter speed for correct exposure.

Manual: User select both shutter speed and aperture with the meter'srecommendations for correct exposure.
