This mode is helpful when you want to concentrate only on the shutter release opportunity. For more complex situations, use Flexible Program (see page 7-12), Exposure Compensation (see page 7-19), or Auto Exposure Bracketing (see page 7-20).

Program Chart The program chart shows exposure control in Programmed Auto Exposure mode (with ISO 100, lens with maximum aperture of f/1.4 and minimum aperture of f/16, for example, AF 50 mm f/1.4D). April 29, 2004 There are limitations for minimum and maximum EV, depending on ISO. In Matrix Metering, any EV above 16 1/3 is controlled to EV 16 1/3 when using ISO 100. 7-11

Controlling Exposure
April 29, 2004
7-11
Programmed Auto Exposure
Mode
In Programmed Auto Exposure mode, the camera automatically controls
exposure according to the exposure combination in the program chart
(see below). This mode is helpful when you want to concentrate only on
the shutter release opportunity. For more complex situations, use Flexible
Program (see
page 7-12
), Exposure Compensation (see
page 7-19
), or
Auto Exposure Bracketing (see
page 7-20
).
NOTE:
You can only use Programmed Auto Exposure mode if you are
using a CPU NIKKOR lens. If you use a non-CPU lens,
f--
blinks in
the Top Status LCD and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be
released. In this case, use Manual Exposure mode.
1.
Rotate the Exposure Mode dial to
P
.
2.
Compose the picture, focus, and capture the image.
If the subject is too bright,
HI
appears in the Top Status LCD and
viewfinder. Use an ND filter.
If the subject is too dark,
Lo
appears in the Top Status LCD and
viewfinder. Use a Speedlight.
Program Chart
The program chart shows exposure control in Programmed Auto Exposure
mode (with ISO 100, lens with maximum aperture of f/1.4 and minimum
aperture of f/16, for example, AF 50 mm f/1.4D).
There are limitations for minimum and maximum EV, depending on ISO.
In Matrix Metering, any EV above 16 1/3 is controlled to EV 16 1/3 when
using ISO 100.
