[. . . ] (Turning the power switch off does not cancel the Exposure Compensation. ) 60 61 DETAILED OPERATION Auto Exposure Bracketing Auto Exposure Bracketing allows you to shoot in selected compensated EV values (maximum of ±2 EV) shifting from the automatically set proper exposure (or selected exposure in Manual exposure mode) for three shots each time the shutter is released. For example, this is useful in selecting one shot out of several shots with bracketed exposures after processing the film, when the subject has pronounced contrast in shooting with colour slide film and where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal. 2 Electronic analog exposure display First shot (correct EV) Compose picture, confirm focus indicator / and shoot. · Each time the shutter release button is depressed, correct EV, under EV, and over EV exposure are performed in that order while the blinking electronic analog exposure display shows the correct, under, then overexposure. Compensated shutter speed and aperture values are displayed during shooting. · If the Exposure Compensation function (page 61) is also set, bracketing will be combined with the Exposure Compensation values. It is useful to perform Bracketing with a compensated value of over +2 EV or under ­2 EV. · If the end of the film roll is reached during bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after new film has been loaded. Also, if you turn the power switch off during bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after the power is turned back on. 1 Rotate the Command Dial while pressing the Auto Exposure Bracketing ¸ button to set desired bracketing value (within ±2 EV without combining exposure compensation). The display changes as follows: Second shot (under EV) No display (cancel) (Multiple Exposure) · When the bracketing value is set (and while the exposure meter is on), z appears and = blinks in the LCD panel, and = and electronic analog exposure display blink in the viewfinder. Bracketing value can be confirmed by pressing the ¸ button. · Shutter speed and aperture in Auto-Multi Program, aperture in Shutter-Priority Auto and shutter speed in Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure mode are bracketed. · In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure Bracketing and Auto Exposure Bracketing are simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is used. · Compensated EV value and bracketing order Compensated EV value 0. 5 1. 0 1. 5 2. 0 62 Electronic analog exposure display Bracketing order 0, 0, 0, 0, ­0. 5, ­1. 0, ­1. 5, ­2. 0, +0. 5 +1. 0 +1. 5 +2. 0 Third shot (over EV) 3 Auto Exposure Bracketing is completed and automatically cancelled when the third shot is taken. · = and z in the LCD panel and = and the electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder disappear when the bracketing is completed. · To cancel the bracketing, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the ¸ button so the display disappears from the LCD panel. Bracketing is not cancelled by turning the power switch off. Check points · Auto Exposure Bracketing cannot be performed in a (AUTO mode) and VariProgram. · Auto Exposure Bracketing and Multiple Exposure (page 64) cannot be set simultaneously. · Auto Exposure Bracketing and Long Time exposure (page 60) cannot be set simultaneously. 63 DETAILED OPERATION Multiple Exposure Multiple Exposure consists of two or more exposures of one or more subjects in the same frame. 3 Compose picture, confirm focus indicator / and shoot. · The first shot is taken and Z and frame counter blink in the LCD panel when the shutter release button is fully depressed. The frame counter in the LCD panel does not count up and the film does not advance and multiple exposures can be taken from the second shutter release. The multiple exposure is cancelled, film advances and Z disappears from the LCD panel when the second shot is taken. · To take more than two shots on the same frame, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the ¸ button again after first shot is taken by depressing the shutter release button and while Z is blinking so Z appears without blinking. Repeat this operation as many times as you wish to continue taking pictures on the same frame. · To cancel multiple exposure, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the ¸ button so the display disappears from the LCD panel. [. . . ] (in Auto-Multi Program, Aperture-Priority Auto) or 1 sec. Vignetting Progressively diminished illumination on the film from the centre to the corners. There are two kinds of vignetting--natural vignetting caused by the lens, and vignetting that is caused by improper use of accessories such as a lens hood or filter. 104 105 MISCELLANEOUS Specifications Type of camera Exposure modes Integral-motor autofocus 35mm single-lens reflex with electronically controlled focal-plane shutter and built-in Speedlight a: AUTO mode Vari-Program (s: Portrait, d: Landscape, f: Close-Up, g: Sports Continuous, h: Night Scene mode) ¡: Auto-Multi Program (Flexible Program possible) TM: Shutter-Priority Auto £: Aperture-Priority Auto ¢: Manual 24 x 36mm (standard 35mm film format) Nikon F mount (with AF coupling, AF contacts) Nikkor and Nikon lenses having Nikon F mount* * With limitations; see chart on page 89.
