•

DX AF NIKKOR: All functions supported

 

• Type G or D AF NIKKOR: All functions supported (PC Micro-NIKKOR does

 

 

not support some functions). IX NIKKOR lenses not supported.

 

• Other AF NIKKOR: All functions supported except 3D color matrix

 

 

metering II. Lenses for F3AF not supported.

 

• AI-P NIKKOR: All functions supported except 3D color matrix metering II

 

• Non-CPU: Can be used in modes A and M; color matrix metering and

 

 

aperture value display supported if user provides lens data (AI lenses

 

 

only)

 

Electronic rangefinder can be used if maximum aperture is f/5.6 or faster.

 

 

 

Shutter

 

 

Type

Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter

Speed

1/8000 – 30 s in steps of 1/3 or 1/2 EV, bulb, time (requires optional ML-L3

 

remote control), X250

Flash sync speed

X=1/250 s; synchronizes with shutter at 1/320 s or slower (flash range drops

 

at speeds between 1/250 and 1/320 s)

 

 

 

Release

 

 

Release mode

S (single frame), CL (continuous low speed), CH (continuous high speed),

 

J(quiet shutter-release), E(self-timer), 4(remote control), MUP (mirror

 

up)

Frame advance rate

1–5 fps (CL) or 6 fps (CH)

(CIPA guidelines)

 

 

Self-timer

2 s, 5 s, 10 s, 20 s; 1–9 exposures at intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 s

Remote release modes

Delayed remote, quick-response remote, remote mirror-up

 

 

 

Exposure

 

 

Metering

TTL exposure metering using 2,016-pixel RGB sensor

Metering method

• Matrix: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D lenses); color matrix

 

 

metering II (other CPU lenses); color matrix metering available with

 

 

non-CPU lenses if user provides lens data

 

• Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to 8 mm circle in center of frame.

 

 

Diameter of circle can be changed to 6, 10, or 13 mm, or weighting can

 

 

be based on average of entire frame (fixed at 8 mm when non-CPU

 

 

lens is used)

 

• Spot: Meters 3.5 mm circle (about 2.5% of frame) centered on selected

 

 

focus point (on center focus point when non-CPU lens is used)

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4

•

Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV

lens, 20 °C/68 °F)

•

Spot metering: 2–20 EV
