The shooting modes explained in this section cover most of your shooting situations.
Nikon Check points Keep the batteries out of children's reach. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. (For "Notes on Batteries", see page 100.) When replacing batteries, be sure to turn the power switch off and replace both batteries at the same time. Always use fresh batteries of the same brand. We recommend that you take spare batteries with you, especially when travelling. For the number of film rolls that can be shot with fresh batteries, see page 108.
Nikon the exposure meter. • Lightly pressing the shutter release button reactivates the exposure meter and indications in the LCD panel and viewfinder for approx. 6 sec. 2 Turn the power switch off, mount the lens to the camera body and set the lens aperture to its minimum setting (largest f-number). 2 .1 Turn the power switch off and mount the lens to the camera body.
Nikon • When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting (largest fnumber) and the power switch is turned on, FEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released. Checkpoints Use a D-type AF Nikkor lens to utilise all of this camera's functions. (See page 34 for Lens Compatibility.) Make sure to turn the power switch off when attaching/detaching the lens. When attaching the lens, take care not to press the lens release button.
Nikon When the camera is turned on, film is loaded and the camera back is closed, the film automatically advances to the first frame. 3.1 Turn the power switch on, confirm that the film speed setting is set to DX, then open the camera back by sliding the camera back lock release lever. • If the film speed setting is not set to DX, see page 36. 3.2 Insert film from the bottom side and pull film leader out to red index mark. • Do not insert the film leader beyond the red index mark.
Nikon 3.5 Set the film advance mode selector to S (singleframe shooting) while pressing the film advance mode selector lock release. Set Focus Mode, AF Area Mode and Focus Area 4 Set the focus mode to S (Single Servo AF), AF Area mode to [ ] (Single Area AF) and focus area to centre. 4.1 Set the focus mode selector to S (Single Servo AF). • Make sure to turn the focus mode selector until it clicks into position. • To focus, lightly press the shutter release button (page 27). 4.
Nikon • Set the AF Area mode selector firmly. Check points Do not attempt to rotate the lens focus ring manually while the focus mode is set to S or C. With the focus mode set at S (Single Servo AF), the shutter cannot be released when the subject is out of focus. See pages 38-42 for details regarding focus mode, AF Area mode and focus area. See page 46 for situations where autofocus may not work as expected. 4.
Nikon • Matrix Metering indication ED appears in the viewfinder. • The frame is divided into 10 segments in Matrix Metering, and data from each segment is used to determine correct exposure. Use of a D-type Nikkor lens automatically activates 3D Matrix Metering (page 48), which accounts for scene brightness and contrast, as well as subject distance (Distance Information) in order to determine exposure accurately. 5.2 Set the exposure mode select dial to P (Programmed Auto).
Nikon A Aperture-PriorityYou set the desired aperture, and the Auto P. 54 camera selects the correct shutter speed. Lets you determine depth of the in-focus area (page 88), so you can choose whether near or far subjects are in sharp focus, or whether foreground or background is to be blurred. M Manual P. 56 Shutter speed and aperture are set manually. Suitable for situations where it is difficult to attain the desired effect using other exposure modes.
Nikon is somewhat larger than the image you see through the viewfinder. Note that the edges of a negative film are partially cropped by most labs. Check points Dioptre adjustment (page 66) enables you to see more clearly through the viewfinder. To take a picture of a subject outside the focus area, shift the focus area by using the focus area selector (page 42) or use focus lock (page 44).
Nikon pressing the shutter release button. (Shutter speed and aperture are shown in 1/2 steps.) • When the subject is dark or the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., use the built-in Speedlight to avoid picture blur (page 30). • If any warning indications appear in the LCD panel or viewfinder, see page 101. 7.2 Confirm that focus indicator • appears and slowly depress the shutter release button.
Nikon • Film is completely rewound when the frame counter shows blinking "£" in the LCD panel and viewfinder. (E appears without blinking when the exposure meter is off.) Open the camera back away from sunlight and remove the film cartridge by tilting it to one side. 8 Using Built-in Speedlight When the subject is dark or the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., use the built-in Speedlight to avoid picture blur. Speedlight photography is also suitable for shooting backlit subjects. 8.
Nikon The built-in Speedlight offers an angle of coverage of 28mm tens with a guide number of 12 (ISO 100, m). Using a D-type Nikkor lens enables use of 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. (For details, see page 78.) Be sure to remove (or store) the lens hood before flash shooting. Some lenses have limitations using the built-in Speedlight and may cause vignetting. (For details, see page 84.) • Normal Front-Curtain Sync flash mode is introduced in this section.
Nikon Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Shutter speed and aperture control how much light reaches the film. The combination of shutter speed and aperture appropriate for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in correct exposure—a result provided by the F80/F80D/F80S's four exposure modes: Programmed Auto (page 50), Shutter-Priority Auto (page 52), Aperture-Priority Auto (page 54) and Manual (page 56) exposure modes.

Nikon Film advance speed is tested using camera settings of focus mode M, exposure mode M, shutter speed 1/125 sec. or faster, aperture other than maximum, at normal temperature of 20°C (68°F), with fresh batteries, for the 1st to 36th frames of a film. Autofocus • Focus mode selector • Set focus mode selector to S (Single Servo AF with Focus-Priority) or ! (Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority). Camera focuses automatically on the subject when the shutter release button is lightly pressed.
Nikon If the focus mode is set to Single Servo AF in Dynamic AF, the camera is automatically set to Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority in initial setting. AF Area Mode—continued • The Closest Subject Priority AF operation is possible in the Dynamic AF, where the camera automatically selects the focus area with the closest subject. Focus is always achieved at any of the five focus areas so you can avoid outof-focus pictures.
Nikon Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority can be selected in either focus mode, in Single Servo AF or Continuous Servo AF. When the AF Area Mode is set to Dynamic AF Mode, the following settings are selected in combination with the given focus mode. Focusing operation Suitable shooting situation Focus is obtained only at the selected focus General shooting such as a area and focus is locked (as long stationary subject. as the shutter release button is lightly pressed) once focus is achieved.
Nikon Focus is obtained only at the selected focus area. Focus is not locked and focusing continues until the shutter is released. Subject moving straight toward or away from the camera such as a racing car or track athlete to follow a subject with one focus area, Focus is obtained at the selected focus area. Focus is not locked. If the subject moves from the selected focus area, camera automatically focuses on the subject determining the data from the other focus areas.
Nikon • Selected focus area can be locked by rotating the focus area selector lock lever to lock position. AF-Assist Illuminator •When the subject is dark and the shutter release button is pressed lightly, the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator automatically turns on and enables autofocus operation in a dark environment.
Nikon press the shutter release button. • • appears when the subject is in focus. 2 Confirm focus indicator • and lock focus. In Single Servo AF; Focus is locked as long as the shutter release button is kept lightly pressed. 3 While keeping the focus locked, recompose and shoot. Situations Where Autofocus May Not Work As Expected! •Autofocus may not work as expected in the following situations.
Nikon Low-contrast scenes For example, where the subject is wearing clothing the same colour as a wall or other background. Scenes with subjects within the focus brackets located at different distances from the camera For example, when shooting an animal in a cage or a person in a forest. Patterned subject or scene For example, building windows. Scenes with pronounced differences in brightness within the focus brackets For example, when the sun is in the background and the main subject is in shadow.
Nikon • Set the focus mode selector to M. Look through the viewfinder and rotate the lens focusing ring until a sharp image appears on the clear matte field in the viewfinder. The shutter can be released whether or not the subject is in focus. Use Manual focus in situations where autofocus may not work as expected (page 46) or a lens other than an AF Nikkor lens (page 35) is attached. • Manual focus using Electronic Rangefinder • Set the focus mode selector to M.
Nikon contrast and subject distance information to ensure even more accurate exposure control. Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering is recommended for the Auto Exposure Lock function (page 58) or exposure compensation (page 60). Centre-Weighted Metering places special emphasis on brightness within the 12mm-diameter circle in the viewfinder, so it is useful for basing exposure on a specific area of the scene. Nearly 100% of the meter's sensitivity is concentrated on the 4mm-dia. area (approx.
Nikon compensation (page 60) or auto exposure bracketing (page 61). • Programmed Auto can only be selected when using a CPU Nikkor lens (page 34). 1 Rotate the exposure mode select dial to select P. NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens_____________ Always set the aperture ring of a CPU Nikkor lens to its minimum (largest f-number). • When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting, fEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter locks.
Nikon •There are limitations for minimum and maximum EV depending on the film speed. • In Matrix Metering, any EV above 161/3 is controlled to EV 16V3 when using ISO 100 film. Shooting in Each Exposure Mode—continued •S: Shutter-Priority Auto Enables you to manually set your desired shutter speed (30-1/4000 sec.); the camera automatically selects the proper aperture to provide correct exposure.
Nikon aperture ring. Camera's exposure meter cannot be used. See "Lens Compatibility" on page 34 for details. • If bulb is selected in Manual exposure mode and the exposure mode is changed to Shutter-Priority Auto without cancelling bulb, bulb blinks and the shutter locks. To shoot in Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, select shutter speed other than bulb by rotating the Main-Command Dial. 2 Set the shutter speed (30-1/4000 sec.) by rotating the Main-Command Dial. 3 Compose picture, focus and shoot.
Nikon NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens____________ Always set the aperture ring of a CPU Nikkor lens to its minimum (largest f-number). • When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting, FEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter locks. • When a non-CPU Nikkor lens is attached, f- - blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be released. In this case, set the exposure mode to Manual (page 56) and set/confirm aperture with the lens aperture ring.
Nikon 1 Rotate the exposure mode select dial to select M. NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens_____________ Always set the aperture ring of a CPU Nikkor lens to its minimum (largest f-number). • When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting, fEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be released. • When a non-CPU Nikkor lens is attached, F- - appears in the LCD panel and viewfinder. Set/confirm aperture with the lens aperture ring.
Nikon Auto Exposure Lock 1 Rotate the metering system selector to select CentreWeighted or Spot Metering. • Matrix Metering is not recommended since the effect of the Auto Exposure Lock cannot be effectively attained. • Area of exposure in Spot Metering: 1. When the focus area and metering area are linked in Spot Metering (page 49), exposure is locked at selected focus area. 2.
Nikon 1. Flexible Program (page 51) in Programmed Auto Exposure mode 2. 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.
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.
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.
Nikon Four -2.0 EV Eight or Nine -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. In particular, film advance becomes unstable at the beginning and near the end of a film roll so multiple exposure is not recommended.
Nikon • If buLb is selected in Manual exposure mode and the exposure mode is changed to Shutter-Priority Auto without cancelling buLb, bulb blinks and the shutter locks (page 52). • Continuous exposure of approx. 6 hours is possible with a fresh set of lithium batteries. Note that continuous exposure time is reduced when shooting at low temperatures. 3 Compose picture, focus and shoot. • The shutter will be open as long as the shutter release button is kept fully depressed.
Nikon • Pressing the depth-of-field button stops the lens down to the aperture controlled in Programmed Auto or Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, and down to the aperture selected in Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. By looking through the viewfinder, the approximate depth of field with the given aperture can be confirmed. •The film plane indicator shows the position of the film plane inside the camera body.
Nikon self-timer indicator LED will blink for 8 sec. and then illuminate for 2 sec. before the shutter is released. CUSTOM SETTING Using the Custom Setting feature, you can create a combination of functions that is different from the initial factory settings. The functions listed in this section can be selected with the F80/F80D/F80S.

Nikon •Ready-light • If the ready-light blinks approx. 3 sec. after full flash output, underexposure may have occurred (when the Speedlight is set to TTL or non-TTL Auto Flash mode). Check the focus distance, aperture or flash shooting distance range and shoot again. Flash Sync Mode Features Set the flash sync mode to Front-Curtain Sync for normal flash photography. The camera's shutter speed is automatically set to 1/60 to 1/125 sec.
Nikon However, for shooting nighttime scenes, Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed (down to 30 sec.) to bring out background details using all of the available light. The Speedlight fires at the end of the exposure, turning available light into a stream of light that follows the flash-illuminated moving subject. When Rear-Curtain Sync is set in Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync is automatically set.
Nikon effectively due to the location of subject. • With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a tripod is recommended. • Rear-Curtain Sync cannot be used with a studio flash system since the correct synchronisation cannot be obtained. Using the Built-in Speedlight •Operation described in this section applies when the built-in Speedlight and D-type AF Nikkor are attached. 1Set the metering system.
Nikon *2 Flash shooting distance range depends on the ISO film speed of the film in use and aperture selected.
