Controlling Exposure

Aperture-Priority Auto

Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure

Exposure Mode

mode lets you manually set the

 

 

 

aperture. The camera

 

 

 

automatically selects a suitable

 

 

 

shutter speed. By varying the

 

 

 

aperture, and thus controlling

 

 

 

the depth of field, you can

 

 

 

sharpen the background and

 

 

 

foreground, or blur the

 

 

 

background. In flash photography, varying the aperture changes the

 

 

 

flash-shooting distance.

 

 

 

NOTE: You can only use Aperture-Priority 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 A.

 

 

 

 

2. Rotate the Sub-Command dial to set the aperture.
