Reference-Exposure Exposure Mode Exposure mode determines how the camera sets shutter speed and aperture when adjusting exposure. Four modes are available: programmed auto (P), shutter-priority auto (S), aperture-priority auto (A), and manual (M). Depth-of-Field Preview To preview the effects of aperture, press and hold the depth-of-field preview button. The lens will be stopped down to the aperture value selected by the camera (modes P and S) or the value chosen by the user (modes A and M), allowing depth of field to be previewed in the viewfinder (the built-in flash and optional SB-800, SB-600, and SB-R200 Speedlights will emit a modeling flash). CPU Lenses When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring, lock the aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f/-number). At other settings, the shutter release will be disabled and a blinking will appear in the aperture displays in the control panel and viewfinder. Type G lenses are not equipped with an aperture ring. b1-ISO Auto ( 152) When Custom Setting b1 (ISO Auto) is on, the camera automatically varies ISO sensitivity between ISO 100 and a maximum selected by the user to help ensure optimum exposure and flash level. In exposure modes P and A, the camera adjusts ISO sensitivity when the shutter speed needed to obtain optimum exposure would be faster than s or slower than a specified value. Otherwise the camera adjusts ISO sensitivity when the limits of the camera exposure metering system are exceeded (mode S) or when optimum exposure can not be achieved at the shutter-speed and aperture selected by the user (mode M). e4-Modeling Flash ( 166) If Off is selected for Custom Setting e4 (Modeling Flash), the built-in flash and optional SB-800, SB-600, and SB-R200 Nikon Speedlights will not emit a modeling flash when the 62 depth-of-field preview button is pressed.

Reference—Exposure
Exposure Mode
Exposure mode determines how the camera sets shutter speed and aperture
when adjusting exposure.
Four modes are available: programmed auto (
P
), shut-
ter-priority auto (
S
), aperture-priority auto (
A
), and manual (
M
).
To preview the effects of aperture, press and hold the
depth-of-field preview button.
The lens will be stopped
down to the aperture value selected by the camera
(modes
P
and
S
) or the value chosen by the user (modes
A
and
M
), allowing depth of field to be previewed in the
viewfinder (the built-in flash and optional SB-800, SB-600,
and SB-R200 Speedlights will emit a modeling flash).
Depth-of-Field Preview
CPU Lenses
When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring, lock the aperture ring at the min-
imum aperture (highest f/-number).
At other settings, the shutter release will be
disabled
and a blinking
will appear in the aperture displays in the control panel and viewfinder.
Type G lenses are not equipped with an aperture ring.
b1—ISO Auto (
152)
When Custom Setting b1 (
ISO Auto
) is on, the camera automatically varies ISO sensitivity
between ISO 100 and a maximum selected by the user to help ensure optimum exposure
and flash level.
In exposure modes
P
and
A
, the camera adjusts ISO sensitivity when the
shutter speed needed to obtain optimum exposure would be faster than / s or slower
than a specified value.
Otherwise the camera adjusts ISO sensitivity when the limits of the
camera exposure metering system are exceeded (mode
S
) or when optimum exposure can
not be achieved at the shutter-speed and aperture selected by the user (mode
M
).
e4—Modeling Flash (
166)
If
Off
is selected for Custom Setting e4 (
Modeling Flash
), the built-in flash and optional
SB-800, SB-600, and SB-R200 Nikon Speedlights will not emit a modeling flash when the
depth-of-field preview button is pressed.
