Aperture varies in increments equivalent to 1/3 EV (1/3 step); dependingon the zoom position, the camera can achieve apertures as large as f/2.8 oras small as f/8.0.If the selected aperture would result in the picture being under- or over-exposed,the aperture display in the monitor or electronic viewfinder will flash when theshutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another aperture and tryagain.An aperture of f/8.0 may not be available at some zoom positions. For smallerapertures, try zooming the camera out.Aperture and ZoomThe maximum and minimum values for aperture are determined by the camera lensand zoom setting. Unless On is chosen for Zoom options > Fixed aperture ( 102),aperture will change as the camera is zoomed in or out. If the second-highest aperturesetting is selected with the camera zoomed all the way out and the camera is thenzoomed in, the camera will vary the f/-number to maintain aperture at the second-high-est setting for the current zoom position.Faster Shutter SpeedsDepending on the amount of light available, it may be possible to achieve shutterspeeds as high as 1/3,000 s by selecting an aperture of f/7.4 (maximum zoom) or betweenf/5.0 and f/8.0 (widest angle).1Select mode A.8M8M8MF2.8F2.8F2.81/60601/60 126126126 F7.1F7.1F7.18M8M8M1/60601/60 1261261262Select aperture.3 Frame picture, focus, and shoot.Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
