The electronic analog exposure displays in the control panel and viewfinder show whether the photograph would be under- or over- exposed at current settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b2 ([EV steps for exposure cntrl.], pg. 275), the amount of under- or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the displays will flash.

At a shutter speed of A, the shutter will remain open while the shutter-release button is held down. Use for long time-exposure photographs of moving lights, the stars, night

scenery, or fireworks. Nikon recommendsZ using a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery or an

optional EH-5a or EH-5 AC adapter to prevent loss of power while the shutter is open. Note that noise and color distortion may be present

in long exposures; before shooting, choose [On] for the [Long exp. NR] option in the shooting menu (pg. 262).
