At the same time, it is engineered to take the guesswork out of photography with automatic features anyone can learn to use in minutes. [. . . ] (Refer to accompanying photos for details. ) Time Exposures To make an exposure longer than 10 seconds, set the shutter-speed selector to "B" and turn the T-L fingerguard to "T" as described in "Extreme Low-Light Metering. " Advance the film and press the shutter-release button to open the shutter. As long as the fingerguard remains set to "T, " the shutter will remain open. When returning the fingerguard to the normal center position to close the shutter, be careful not to move or shake the camera, as a blurred image may result. 25 EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT-continued Eyepiece Shutter Operation The camera's Photomic finder is fitted with an eyepiece shutter for special unmanned shooting situations (e. g. , remote control, automated shooting with motor drive and aperture control unit) requiring protection against the entry of stray light through the viewfinder eyepiece. To close the shutter, simply turn the eyepiece shutter control 60° clockwise; as the shutter closes, the internal LEDs are deactivated and the external "correct exposure" indicator is switched on for metering operation from atop the finder. To set the camera for proper exposure using the external LED indicator, simply adjust the aperture ring and/or the shutter-speed selector until the LED just glows; once the LED comes on, the camera is set for correct exposure. In addition to its use for low-light metering or for unmanned photography, the eyepiece shutter comes in handy to ensure correct exposure measurement in critical shooting situations (e. g. , photomicrography) or for protection against the entry of bright light into the viewfinder during daylight shooting. High-Contrast Lighting Situations When there are substantial brightness differences between the main subject and the background, unimportant bright spots or dark spots can adversely influence the finder reading, and thus the final exposure. To prevent under- or overexposure of the main subject under these shooting cond itions, some corrective action must be taken to ensure proper exposure of the main subject. Fortunately, the finder's center-weighted TTL metering action simplifies adjustments, making for qu icker camera operation and more accurate final resu Its. To compensate for an excessively bright or dark background, target the main subject in the center of the focusing screen wh ile performing metering; th is action ensures that the main emphasis of the meter reading will be on the chosen subject. Then, after completing aperture and shutter speed adjustments, recompose to the desired picture composition and make the exposure without readjusting the camera controls. For example, when shooting landscapes, it is often advisable to aim the camera slightly downward during exposure measurement to eliminate the effects of a bright expanse of sky; without such compensation, the landscape may appear underexposed in the final print. Also, for backlit subjects, it may be necessary to move closer to the subject to ensure a proper reading. 26 - '!::"~. . . . . . - - - - - - , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ---- - f 5. 6 - -+- 0 - =-- 60 -- -- -- _______ . .

However, the camera's Photomic meter can still be used for exposure measurement via the stop-down method. Before mounting the lens (or accessory) on the camera body, push the meter coupling pin up into the finder with a coin or similar object; when set, the number "5. 6" will appear in the finder's maximum aperture indicator. After setting the finder, mount the lens or lens/accessory combination on the camera, switch on the meter by moving the film-advance lever to the standoff position, and then set the controls for correct exposure as follows: For fixed-aperture lenses, such as Reflex-N ikkor lenses, simply adjust the shutter-speed selector until the center LED indicator comes on. For convenience, shutter speeds can be set at intermediate settings in the 1/80 sec. If the meter indicates con tinuous overexposure, use a neutral density filter or slower film. If continuous underexposure is indicated, suppleme" ntary lighting or a faster film is necessary. This technique is also suitable for photography using a telescope or microscope" 28 For automatic diaphragm lenses with no coupling prong, su ch as the Zoo m-Ni kkor 200 -600mm f/9. 5 lens a nd sup er-te lephoto lenses using Niko n foc using un its, se t t he camera to th e des ired shu tter speed; t hen, depress th e d ep th-of-ficld p review b u tto n to stop-dow n the lens di aphragm a nd, whil e ho lding th e bu tto n depressed, adjust th e a pertu re rin g until t he ce nter LED indicato r comes o n.
