A Electronic Analog Exposure Displays The electronic analog exposure displays in the viewfinder and top control panel show whether the photograph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting b2 ([EV steps for exposure cntrl.], pg. 313), the amount of under- or overexposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV, or 1 EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the displays will flash. Control panel Custom Setting b2 set to [1/3 step] Optimal exposure Underexposed by 1/3 EV Overexposed by over 3 EV Viewfinder A Long Time-Exposures At a shutter speed of A, the shutter will Z remain open while the shutter-release button is held down. Use for long time-exposure photographs of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. Nikon recommends using a fully-charged EN-EL4a battery or an optional EH-6 AC adapter to prevent loss of power while the shutter is open. Note that noise and distortion may be present in long exposures; before shooting, choose [On] for the [Long exp. NR] option in the shooting menu (pg. 299). Shutter speed: 35 s Aperture: f/25 A See Also See Custom Setting f10 ([Reverse indicators], pg. 343) for information on reversing the electronic analog exposure display. 126
