EXPOSURE-------------------- -- ---------- ------ -- -- EXPOSURE METERING SYSTEMS The Nikon N6000 provides two types of exposure metering systems - Matrix Meter- ing and Center-Weighted Metering . MATRIX METERING This system is ideally suited for quick operation and for the most dependab le auto exposure contro l. It can a l so be used for manual m[...]

FLEXIBLE PROGRAM When you want to use a specific shutter speed or aperture in Programmed auto exposure mode, use the Flexible Program function. Flexible Program enables you to temporarily change an automatically set shutter speed/aperture combination in 1 EV step, while maintaining the correct exposure. 1. Lightly press shutter release button. 38 2[...]

SHUTTER-PRIORITY AUTO EXPOSURE MODE Subject movement and your ability to hold the camera steady will determine what shutter speed you shou ld choose. Faster speeds will generally produce sharper images. For creative effects you may use slower speeds. Make your choice accord- ingly. The N6000's computer automatically selects th e proper apertur[...]

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION Matrix Metering provides the main subject with correct expo- sure in virtually any lighting situation, without having to use manual exposure compensation. But in Center-Weighted Metering, for situations where you want to change composi- tions or for unusual situations such as snowscapes, backlit subjects or when the main subje[...]

2. Lightly press shutter release button, and confirm shutter speed and aperture in viewfinder . 4. Recompose and shoot. 3.

AUTO EXPOSURE BRACKETING When you want a variety of exposures of the same subject (e.g., when shooting a sunset), use the N6000's auto exposure bracketing func ti on to obtain three or five different exposures. Auto exposure bracketing only operates in connection with any of th e auto expo- sure contro l modes. 54[...]

fJ ' t- • 1. Set exposure mode to Programmed auto, Shutter-Priority auto or Aperture-Priority auto. In Programmed auto exposure mode, both shutter speed and aperture will be changed for your set compensation value in stepped sequence.

The lens can also be moun t ed in reverse to maintain aberration correction in the extreme close-up range. The P8-6 has a stop[...]

Note on Close - Up Photography e ln close-up photography, depth of field is generally shallow . Thus, you must stop lens aperture down as much as possible to get the greatest area of sharp focus. e lmage magnification is so high that even the slightest movement during shooting will cause a blurred image. To avoid this, use tripod with a cable relea[...]
