Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure Mode

A:Aperture-Priority Auto

Enables you to set the desired aperture (lens' minimum to maximum) manually. The camera automatically selects a shutter speed suitable for correct exposure.

A (Aperture-Priority Auto) can only be used with a CPU Nikkor lens such as G- or D-type Nikkor (page

88).

Small aperture f/32 • In flash photography, varying the aperture changes the flash shooting distance (page 83).

~ Tip

By varying the aperture, and thus controlling the depth of field (page 86), you can sharpen the background and foreground, or blur the background.

NOTE: CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type

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, fEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter locks.
