Exposure Mode The options in the exposure mode menu offer varying degrees of control over shutter speed and aperture. An automatic, “point-and-shoot” mode in which the camera not only chooses shutter speed and aperture but adjusts other settings to suit the subject (0 21). P Programmed The camera sets shutter speed and aperture for optimal auto exposure (0 108). S Shutter-priority You choose the shutter speed; the camera selects an auto aperture for best results (0 109).
A Shutter Speed and Aperture The same exposure can be achieved with different combinations of shutter speed and aperture. Fast shutter speeds and large apertures freeze moving objects and soften background details, while slow shutter speeds and small apertures blur moving objects and bring out background details. Shutter speed Aperture Fast shutter speed (1/1,600 s) Large aperture (f/5.6) Slow shutter speed (1 s) Small aperture (f/16) (Remember, the higher the f-number, the smaller the aperture.
P Programmed Auto In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and aperture. 1 Choose a combination of shutter speed and aperture.
S Shutter-Priority Auto In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, fast shutter speeds to “freeze” motion. Fast shutter speed (1/1,600 s) Slow shutter speed (1 s) 1 Choose a shutter speed. Press W up for faster shutter speeds, down for slower shutter speeds. Choose from values between 30 s and 1/16,000 s.
A Aperture-Priority Auto In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Large apertures (low f-numbers) reduce depth of field, blurring objects behind and in front of the main subject. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing out details in the background and foreground.
M Manual In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. 1 Choose shutter speed and aperture. Adjust shutter speed and aperture with reference to the exposure indicator (see below). Shutter speed is set by pressing W up for faster speeds and down for slower speeds: choose from values between 30 s and 1/16,000 s or select “Bulb” or “Time” to hold the shutter open indefinitely for a long time-exposure.
❚❚ Long Time-Exposures (Manual Exposure Mode Only) Select the following shutter speeds for long time-exposures of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. • Bulb: The shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is held down. To prevent blur, use a tripod. • Time: Requires an optional ML-L3 remote control (0 158). Start the exposure by pressing the ML-L3 shutterrelease button.

White balance, contrast, and other settings can be adjusted on a computer after shooting. Record JPEG images at a compression ratio of roughly 1 : 4 (fine quality).
A NEF (RAW)/NEF (RAW) + JPEG The option selected for image size does not affect the size of NEF (RAW) images. NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using software such as Capture NX 2 (available separately; 0 158) or ViewNX 2 (supplied). When photographs taken at NEF (RAW) + JPEG are viewed on the camera, only the JPEG image will be displayed. When photographs taken at these settings are deleted, both NEF and JPEG images will be deleted.
Frame Rate Choose a frame rate for slow motion movies (0 40). The faster the frame rate, the smaller the frame size. Frame size (pixels) Bit rate (approx.) 400 fps 640 × 240 1.8 Mbps 1200 fps 320 × 120 0.6 Mbps Option Maximum length Maximum length (shooting) (playback) * 1 minute 5 seconds 6 seconds 3 minutes 5 seconds 20 seconds * All figures are approximate. Slow motion movies will play back over a period of about 13.2 (400 fps) or 40 (1200 fps) times the recording time.
Metering Choose how the camera sets exposure. Regardless of the option selected, metering is automatically adjusted to suit the scene when h Scene auto selector is selected for Exposure mode. The camera meters a wide area of the frame and adjusts for contrast (tone distribution), color, composition, and subject distance, producing natural results in most situations. The camera meters the entire frame but assigns the greatest Center- weight to the center area.
Autoexposure Lock Exposure lock is used to recompose photographs after metering exposure. It is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering (0 117) to frame off-center subjects that are much brighter or darker than their surroundings or to optimize exposure for an object other than your main subject. 1 Meter exposure. Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutterrelease button halfway to meter exposure. Check that the focus area is displayed in green.
White Balance White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources, but other values can be selected if necessary according to the type of source. Regardless of the option selected, white balance is automatically adjusted to suit the scene if h Scene auto selector is selected for Exposure mode.

3 Measure white balance. When the camera is ready to measure white balance, a flashing L will be displayed. Before the indicator stops flashing, frame the reference object so that it fills the display and press the shutter-release button all the way down. No photograph will be recorded; white balance can be measured accurately even when the camera is not in focus. 4 Check the results. If the camera was able to measure a value for white balance, the message shown at right will be displayed.
D Auto Power Off White balance measurement will end without a new value being acquired if no operations are performed for the time selected for Auto power off in the setup menu (0 151; the default is 30 s). D Preset White Balance The camera can store only one value for preset white balance at a time; the existing value will be replaced when a new value is measured.
ISO Sensitivity “ISO sensitivity” is the digital equivalent of film speed. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures, but the more likely the image is to be affected by “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines. Noise is particularly likely at a setting of Hi 1 (equivalent to ISO 6400).
Picture Control Choose how the camera processes photographs. Regardless of the option selected, the camera automatically chooses Picture Controls to suit the scene when h Scene auto selector is selected for Exposure mode.

Color Space The color space determines the gamut of colors available for color reproduction. Choose sRGB for photos that will be used “as is,” with no further modification, Adobe RGB for photos that will be extensively processed or retouched after leaving the camera. Note that regardless of the option selected, sRGB is used for movies and Motion Snapshots and for photos recorded in movie mode.
Active D-Lighting Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows for natural contrast. Use with high contrast scenes such as a brightly lit outdoor view framed in a door or window or a subjects in the shade on a sunny day. It is most effective when used with Matrix metering (0 117). Active D-Lighting: Off Active D-Lighting: Y On D Active D-Lighting Noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) may appear in photographs taken with Active D-Lighting.
Long Exposure NR Photographs taken at slow shutter speeds are automatically processed to reduce “noise” (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog), slightly increasing recording times. Selecting On increases the amount of noise reduction performed at shutter speeds slower than 1 s and increases the time required to record images by roughly 1.5 to 2 times.

Storage and Cleaning Storage If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. Keep dry: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage. Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device.
Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly. Lenses are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of liquid.
Moiré: Moiré is an interference pattern created by the interaction of an image containing a regular, repeating grid, such as the pattern of weave in cloth or windows in a building, with the camera image sensor grid. In some cases, it may appear in the form of lines. If you notice moiré in your photographs, try changing the distance to the subject, zooming in and out, or changing the angle between the subject and the camera.
• A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when used at room temperature indicates that it requires replacement. Purchase a new EN-EL20 battery. • Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on important occasions, ready a spare EN-EL20 battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Note that on cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease.
