Shooting in Each Exposure Mode-continued Small aperture f/22 A: Aperture-Priority Auto Enables you to set the desired aperture (lens' minimum to maximum) manually. The camera automatically selects a shutter speed suitable for correct exposure. By varying the aperture, and thus controlling the depth of field (page 74), you can sharpen the background and foreground, or blur the background. In flash photography, varying the aperture changes the flash shooting distance (page 84). • A (Aperture-Priority Auto) can only be used with a CPU Nikkor lens such as D- or G-type Nikkor (page 88). Large aperture f/2.8 1 Set the exposure mode dial to A. NOTE: Minimum aperture with CPU Nikkor lens (except G-type) Always set the aperture ring of a CPU Nikkor lens (except G-type) to its minimum (largest f-number). When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder, and the shutter locks. 56 2 Set the aperture (lens' minimum to maximum) by rotating the Command Dial. 3 Compose picture, confirm focus indicator / and shoot. • When the subject is too dark or too bright, one of the following warning indications will appear in the viewfinder and LCD panel.
