Shooting in Each Exposure Mode

•¡: Auto-Multi Progam

The camera automatically controls exposure according to the exposure combination in the program chart for exposure that is correct for any shooting situation. Suited for situations such as when taking a snapshot, where you want to concentrate only on the shutter release opportunity. For more complex shooting, use Flexible Program, exposure

compensation (page 60) or auto exposure bracketing (page 61).

•Auto-Multi Progam can only be selected when using a CPU Nikkor lens (page 34).

1 Rotate the exposure mode select dial to select ¡.

NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens (except 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, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter locks.

•When a non-CPU lens is attached, ƒ--blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be released. In this case, set the exposure mode to Manual (page 56) and set/confirm aperture with the lens aperture ring. Camera’s exposure meter cannot be used. See “Lens Compatibility” on page 34 for details.

2 Compose picture, focus and shoot.

• When the subject is too dark or bright, one of the following warning indications will appear in the viewfinder or LCD panel.
