Controlling Exposure

Programmed Auto Exposure In Programmed Auto Exposure mode, the camera automatically controls

Modeexposure according to the exposure combination in the program chart (see below). This mode is helpful when you want to concentrate only on the shutter release opportunity. For more complex situations, use Flexible Program (see page 7-12), Exposure Compensation (see page 7-19), or Auto Exposure Bracketing (see page 7-20).

NOTE: You can only use Programmed Auto Exposure mode if you are using a CPU NIKKOR lens. If you use a non-CPU lens, f--blinks in the Top Status LCD and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be released. In this case, use Manual Exposure mode.

1.Rotate the Exposure Mode dial to P.

2.Compose the picture, focus, and capture the image.

If the subject is too bright, HI appears in the Top Status LCD and viewfinder. Use an ND filter.

If the subject is too dark, Lo appears in the Top Status LCD and viewfinder. Use a Speedlight.

Program Chart

The program chart shows exposure control in Programmed Auto Exposure mode (with ISO 200, lens with maximum aperture of f/1.4 and minimum aperture of f/16, for example, AF 50 mm f/1.4D).

There are limitations for minimum and maximum EV, depending on ISO. In Matrix Metering, any EV above 16 1/3 is controlled to EV 16 1/3 when using ISO 200.
