Programmed Auto exposure modes (PIPs)

With the N70's microcomputer choosing the combination of shutter speed and aperture automatically, you can concentrate on picture composition, without worrying about exposure.

Note that programmed auto exposure modes operate only with Nikon lenses that have a built-in CPU (AF Nikkor and AI-P Nikkor lenses).

When p, for Vari-Program is selected, you have a choice of eight options: (1) Portrait Program, (2) Hyperfocal Program, (3) Landscape Program, (4) Close-Up Program, (5) Sport Program,

(6)Silhouette Program, (7) Night Scene Program and (8) Motion Effect Program.

For details about Vari-Program, see pages 61 to 67.

Auto-Multi Program (P) is used for most common picture-taking situations. The chart at right shows the shutter speed/aperture combinations for Auto-Multi Program that are selected at each EV (exposure value) brightness level.

In Programmed Auto exposure mode, you can use the Flexible Program function to temporarily shift an automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combination and obtain the desired shutter speed/aperture (p. 51).

To check shutter speed and aperture values, follow either the black or red line to where it intersects the diagonal line.
