Nikon N6000 instruction manual Programmed PM and P Auto

For Programmed auto or Shutter-Priority auto exposure mode, use only lenses that have a built-in CPU such as AF Nikkor or AI-P lenses. With other lenses, exposure mode is automatically set to Aperture-Priority auto and the metering system to Center-Weighted.

In this case, when you lightly press shutter release but- ton, exposure mode indicator blinks and F--appears on the LCD panel.

PROGRAMMED (PM and P) AUTO

The N6000 offers two programmed auto exposure modes: Auto Multi-Program mode and Normal Program mode.

Picture sharpness can vary with the shutter speed used. Differ- ent focal length lenses handle differently at slow shutter speeds. The recommended slowest shutter speed to be used with any lens when hand-holding the camera IS 1/focal length (FL) of the lens. For example, with a 60mm lens, use 1/60 sec. as the slowest hand-held speed. Keep in mind, however, that 1/30 sec. is the lowest recommended shutter speed for blur- free hand-held shooting.

The N6000'sAuto Multi-Program varies the exposure program lines according to the focal length and lens maximum aper- ture. The inclinations of lines in the chart are designed to re- duce the possibility of picture blur by avoiding slower shutter speeds. With Normal Program, you get a standard combination of shutter speed and aperture.
