5-Vari Program Types and Features

x: Portrait mode

By using exposure control with a wide aperture (a low aperture number), this mode keeps a shallow depth of field (restricting the range of focus in front of and behind the subject). This allows you to take pictures in which your subject stands out clearly against a softly blurred background, giving a feeling of depth in the shot.

Recommended lens: The most effective

lenses for this mode are bright telephoto lenses in the 50 to 135 mm range.

c: Landscape mode

By using exposure control with a narrow aperture (a high aperture number), this mode give a large depth of field (extending the range of focus in front of and behind the subject) to allow you to take pictures of scenery in which the both near and distant objects are in sharp focus.

Lenses from wide-angle through to telephoto can be used in this mode.

•In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such situations.)

v: Close-up mode

This mode uses exposure control with a wide aperture to give a relatively shallow depth of field so that you can take close-up shots in which your subject stands out clearly against a softly blurred background.

Recommended lens: The most effective lenses for this mode are the Micro Nikkor lenses.

•In some photography conditions care is

needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such situations.)
