Exposure compensation

Exposure compensation for available light is activated by chang- ing the shutter speed and/or lens aperture. This is done by using AE-L/AF-L (Auto Exposure/Autofocus Lock) button or exposure compensation button, or by Auto Exposure Bracketing.

In flash photography with a Nikon-dedicated TTL Speedlight, exposure compensation can also be performed by varying the amount of flash output.

Camera-originated exposure compensation affects both the foreground subject and the background; variations in flash output amount affect only the foreground.

Exposure control

Programmed Auto: Camera sets both shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure.

Shutter-Priority Auto: User selects shutter speed and camera sets matching lens aperture for correct exposure.

Aperture-Priority Auto: User selects aperture and camera sets matching shutter speed for correct exposure.

Manual: User selects both shutter speed and aperture, following or ignoring the meter’s recommendations to achieve the desired exposure.

Fill-flash

A method of flash photography that combines flash illumination and ambient light, but does not attempt to balance these two types of illumination.

Flash output level compensation

A control used to adjust a TTL auto flash operation, enabling an increase or decrease of flash output to lighten or darken the flash effect.

Flash shooting distance range

The distance range over which a flash can effectively provide light. Flash shooting distance range is controlled by the amount of flash output available. Each automatic Speedlight’s flash output varies from maximum duration to minimum duration. Close-up subjects will require lower (to minimum) output, while more distant subjects will require more light up to the maximum output.

The flash shooting distance range varies with the aperture, film speed, etc.
