Focus Area Selection Controls used: Multi selector (monitor off) The 080 offers a choice of eleven focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. At the default settings, the camera chooses the focus area automatically or focuses on subject in the center focus area. The focus area can also be selected manually to compose photographs with the main subject positioned almost anywhere in the frame. 1 At default settings, the focus area is selected automatically in A~, 7, ~, ~, and 1:.:1 modes.
Focus Lock Controls used: AE-UAF-l button (AF-AIAF-C)/Shutter·-release button (AF-S) Focus lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in a focus area in the final composition. It can also be used when the autofocus system is unable to focus (~29). 1 Position the subject in the selected focus area and press the shutter-release button halfway to initiate focus. 2 Check that the in-focus indicator (e) appears in the viewfinder.
Manual Focus Controls used: Focus mode selector/lens focusing ring Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when autofocus does not produce the desired results (fI129). To focus manually, set the focus-mode selector to M and adjust the lens focusing ring until the image displayed on the clear matte field in the viewfinder is in focus. Photographs can be taken at any time, even when the image is not in focus.
Image Quality and Size Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card. ~e e 'v?>\.~s

ISO Sensitivity Controls used: e button -+- main command dial (monitor off) "ISO sensitivity" is the digital equivalent of film speed. The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. ISO sensitivity can be set between values roughly equivalent to ISO 100 and ISO 1600 in steps equivalent to '13 EV. Values over 1600 are displayed as H 0.3 (ISO 2000 equivalent), H 0.7 (ISO 2500 equivalent), and H 1.0 (ISO 3200 equivalent).
Controls used: ~ button + Qj button The camera settings listed below can be restored to default values by holding the ~ and Qj buttons down together for more than two seconds (these buttons are marked by a green dot).

p, S, A, and MModes P, S, A, and M modes offer control over a variety of advanced settings, irlcluding exposure (~ 52), white balance, and image optimization. Each of these modes offers a different degree of control over shutter speed and aperture: Description __ _ ==~= Camera sets shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure. RecomProgrammed auto mended for snapshots and in other situations in which there is little (~47) time to adjust camera settings. ---_.
Exposure r lit..' C'XpOSUIC' (bii':!htness) of photoeJrapt'!s is determined by the arnount ot light the'lt falls ()[i the image ',cnsci (CCD) while the shutter is open.

Mode 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. To take photographs in programmed auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to P. 2 Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.
Mode S(Shutter-Priority Auto) In shutter-priority auto, you choose the shutter speed from values between 30 sand 1/4,000 s while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure. Use slow shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving subjects, high shutter speeds to "freeze" motion. To take photographs in shutter-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to S. 2 Rotate the main command dial to choose the desired shutter speed. ~ ::- C'So ~ ret) ,,.
Mode A(AAertllre-Prioriq Alto) In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture from values between the minimum and maximum for the lens while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f-numbers) soften background details. To take photographs in aperture-priority auto: 1 Rotate the mode dial to A.
Mode M(Manual) In manual exposure mode, you control both shutter speed and aperture. Shutter speed can be set to values between 30 sand 1/4,000s, or the shutter can be held open for indefinitely for longer exposures (b u t b). Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and maximum values for the lens. To take photographs in manual exposure mode: 1 Rotate the mode dial to M. 2 Rotate the main command dial to choose a shutter speed, and the sub-command dial to 'J" set aperture.
Long Time-Exposures Shutter speeds of"bulb" and "__" can be used for long time-exposure photographs of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks.

If using centerweighted metering, select the center focus area with the multi selector (~ 30). ..J tttl ~ ,,-, [ ~ L_. ~.__._. [0]. • .__ .
Controls used: ~ button + main comrnand dial Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering 52). Exposure compensation is available in modes P, S, and A (in mode M, only the exposure information shown in the electronic analog exposure display is affected; shutter speed and aperture do not change).
Flash Exposure Compensation Controls used: 0 button + sub command dial Flash exposure compensation is used to alter flash output from the level suggested by the camera, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. Press the 0 (DB) button and rotate the sub-command dial until the desired value is displayed in the control panel.
Bracketing Controls used: (Jr button + command dials Bracketing automatically varies selected settings slightly with each shot, "bracketing" the current value. The setting affected is chosen with Custom Setting 13 (Auto BKT set; ~ 90); Below, it is assumed that AE & flash is selected to vary exposure and flash level. Other options can be used to vary exposure or flash level separately or to bracket white balance.
3 Compose a photograph, focus, and shoot. The camera will vary exposure and flash level with each shot. At default settings, the first shot will be taken at the current values for exposure and flash compensation and the following shots at modified values. If the bracketing sequence consists of three shots, the ~ bracketing increment will be subtracted from the current values in the second shot and added in the third shot, "bracketing" the current values.
White Balance Controls used: WB button + main command dial (monitor off) White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources; if necessary, other values can be selected according to the type of source.
