Basic Photography Setup Advanced Photography Advanced Photography (Playback) Preference BB11378-200 (1) Warning To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The graphical symbols are located on the bottom of the case. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. For customers in the U. S. A. [. . . ] · Set the aperture setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) by using the command dial while holding down the aperture button "g". · Either setting (shutter speed or aperture) can be set first. 64 Important Exposure Indicator The figures at right show how to read the exposure indicator. The icons show the difference between the value given by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting and the exposure value measured by the camera. Correctly exposed or over- or underexposed by less than 0. 5 EV steps Under-exposed by 0. 5 EV steps or more but less than 1. 5 EV. Over-exposed by 1. 5 EV or more 3 Check that the focus indicator "q" is lit and take the picture. · Lenses other than a Nikkor lens with a built-in CPU can only be used in this mode. However, the camera's exposure meter cannot be used and the aperture cannot be set using the aperture button and command dial. See "Lenses that Can Be Used with this Camera" on P. 106 for details. 3 65 Shooting Using 5-Vari Programs 5-Vari Programs The 5-vari programs provide programs for each mode that make it easy for you to take pictures that capture your desired image. The programs tailor the camera settings to particular scenes or subjects by selecting shutter speeds matched to the subject's movement and aperture settings that allow for the depth of field (focusing depth) and even the focusing characteristics of the lens. See P. 80 for information on using 5-vari programs with other functions. Taking Pictures Using 5-Vari Programs Set the exposure mode dial to the desired 5-vari program, check that the focus indicator "q" is lit, and then take the picture. · If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the camera control range. · ¤ : Use the flash. Note Points to note when using 5-vari programs Program shift ( P. 61) and exposure compensation ( P. 71) are both cancelled in the 5-vari program modes. If you use the flash, the synchro mode is automatically switched according to the mode ( P. 76). 66 5-Vari Program Types and Features x: Portrait mode By using exposure control with a wide aperture (a low aperture number), this mode keeps a shallow depth of field (restricting the range of focus in front of and behind the subject). This allows you to take pictures in which your subject stands out clearly against a softly blurred background, giving a feeling of depth in the shot. Recommended lens: The most effective lenses for this mode are bright telephoto lenses in the 50 to 135 mm range. c: Landscape mode By using exposure control with a narrow aperture (a high aperture number), this mode give a large depth of field (extending the range of focus in front of and behind the subject) to allow you to take pictures of scenery in which the both near and distant objects are in sharp focus. · In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such situations. ) v: Close-up mode This mode uses exposure control with a wide aperture to give a relatively shallow depth of field so that you can take close-up shots in which your subject stands out clearly against a softly blurred background. Recommended lens: The most effective lenses for this mode are the Micro Nikkor lenses. · In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such situations. ) 3 67 Shooting Using 5-Vari Programs - continued b: Sport mode (continuous shooting) This mode uses exposure control with a fast shutter speed setting to freeze your subject in a moment of rapid movement and allow you to take shots of sporting events that capture the feeling of fast-paced action. Recommended lens: The most effective lenses for this mode are telephoto lenses in the 80 to 300 mm range. · In Sport mode, the focusing mode switches to continuous AF servo without focus lock so that the camera focus tracks the movements of your subject. Also, if "PREVIEW" (P. 49) is set to "OFF", the camera shoots pictures continuously for as long as the shutter button is held down. · The shutter will not release if the number of available shots is highlighted. Note Using continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames displayed is small If you use continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames displayed is small, a warning beep may sound and the number of remaining frames displayed may show 0 even when the number of shots taken is fewer than the number of shots displayed when continuous shooting began. n: Night scene mode This mode uses exposure control that is tailored to dimly lit subjects and allows you to effectively capture beautiful evening or night scenes. Also, when you are shooting people against an evening backdrop, you can use the flash to capture both your subjects and the background as they appear naturally. · In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used.
