Shutter-Priority Auto | Nikon F80D specification

Shooting in Each Exposure Mode—continued

•™: Shutter-Priority Auto

Enables you to manually set your desired shutter speed (30-1/4000 sec.); the camera automatically selects the proper aperture to provide correct exposure. With high shutter speeds, you can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject; with slower speeds, you can create a blurry, motion effect.

•Shutter-Priority Auto can only be selected with 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 Nikkor 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.

•If buLb is selected in Manual exposure mode and the exposure mode is changed to Shutter-Priority Auto without cancelling buLb, buLb blinks and the shutter locks. To shoot in Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, select shutter speed other than buLb by rotating the Main-Command Dial.

2 Set the shutter speed (30-1/4000 sec.) by rotating the Main-Command Dial.

c 12: Shutter speed can be set to change with Sub-Command Dial (page 74).

3 Compose picture, focus and shoot.

• When the subject is too dark or bright, one of the following warning

indications will appear in the LCD panel or viewfinder. (Electronic analog
exposure display will also indicate the amount of under- or overexposure.)
• H1: Select higher shutter speed. If the warning indication still remains
on, use ND filtre.
• Lo: Select a slower shutter speed. If the warning indication still remains
on, use the Speedlight.	Exposure
