Shutter speed adjustment in Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode 3. Aperture adjustment in Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure mode In any of these three situations, controlled shutter speed and/or aperture will be displayed after change. · Rotating the metering system selector to another setting does not change the metering system during Auto Exposure Lock operation. (The metering system changes as soon as the Auto Exposure Lock is cancelled. ) Exposure Compensation ·To modify exposure control (i. e. from the ISO standard), use the exposure compensation function. This can be useful when intentionally achieving under- or overexposure. Exposure compensation can be performed in any exposure mode. · Electronic analog exposure display indicates the exposure compensation value and 0 blinks. · Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is brighter than your main subject, or to the - side when the background is darker. · See page 85 for flash exposure compensation where only the flash output level is compensated. Auto Exposure Bracketing Auto Exposure Bracketing allow you to shoot in selected compensated EV value (maximum of ±2 ev) shifting from the automatically set proper file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80. htm (40 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:25 PM] Distributed by WWW. LENSINC. NET Nikon exposure (or selected exposure in Manual exposure mode) for a selected number of shots (two or three) 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. Auto Exposure Bracketing can be performed in any exposure mode. · Shutter speed and aperture in Programmed Auto, aperture in ShutterPriority Auto and shutter speed in Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure mode differ. · In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure Bracketing and Auto Exposure Bracketing are simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is used. · See the table on the next page for the combinations of the number of shots and compensated EV value. Auto Exposure Bracketing--continued 3 Compose picture, focus and shoot. · Compensated shutter speed and aperture values are displayed during shooting. file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80. htm (41 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:25 PM] Distributed by WWW. LENSINC. NET Nikon · 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. · Bracketing is performed with one frame at a time when the self-timer (page 68) is set. Multiple Exposure Multiple exposure consists of two or more exposures of one or more subjects in the same frame. Multiple exposure can be performed in any of the available exposure modes. Standard compensation value in Multiple exposure Exposure compensation is necessary depending on the number of exposures in Multiple exposure since more than one image is exposed in the same frame. Number of exposures Two Three Compensation value -1. 0 EV -1. 5 EV file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80. htm (42 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:25 PM] Distributed by WWW. LENSINC. NET Nikon Four Eight or Nine -2. 0 EV -3. 0 EV · Test shooting is recommended since the compensation actually required varies depending on the shooting situation. · When the background is completely dark and subjects do not overlap, no compensation is necessary for each shot. · In some cases, frames may shift slightly in multiple exposure. [. . . ] Wipe the batteries well with a dry cloth before installing. · Use fresh batteries at low temperatures__________________ Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately. · Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film rolls becomes less at low temperatures.
