Nikon D700 manual 117, Flexible Program, Exposure mode e, different combinations

Main command dial

AFlexible Program

In exposure mode e, different combinations of

shutter speed and aperture can be selected by rotating the main command dial while the exposure meters are active (“flexible program”). Rotate the command dial to the right for large apertures (small f-numbers) that blur background

details or fast shutter speeds that “freeze” motion. Rotate the command dial to the left for small apertures (large f-numbers) that increase depth

of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion.

All combinations produce the same exposure. While flexible program is in effect, an asterisk (“*”)

appears in the control panel. To restore default shutter speed and aperture settings, rotate the command dial until the asterisk is no longer

displayed, choose another mode, or turn the camera off.
