Programmed Auto exposure mode (¡) With the F5's microcomputer choosing the combination of shutter speed and aperture automatically, you can concentrate on picture composition without worrying about exposure. Note that programmed auto exposure modes operate only with Nikon lenses that have a built-in CPU (AF Nikkor and AI-P Nikkor lenses). Programmed Auto exposure mode is used for most common picture-taking situations. In Programmed Auto exposure mode, you can use the Flexible Program function to temporarily shift an automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combination and obtain the desired shutter speed/aperture while retaining the same or a consistent exposure (see pages 68 and 69). Program chart To check shutter speed and aperture values, follow the red line to where it intersects the diagonal line. This shows the combination of aperture (vertical line) and shutter speed (horizontal line).
