About Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display_______________
The new Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the F80/F80D/F80S employs the convenient Vari-Brite Focus Area display system; it enables clear display of the focus brackets at the selected focus area in the viewfinder for easy identification. When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function (page 72). Also, the new Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On­Demand Grid Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #4 (page 71). These grids assist you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses. * Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line
outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions.
About LCD___________________________________
The LCD panel and viewfinder displays tend to turn darker at high temperatures and slower response time at low temperatures. On the other hand, the LCD in the Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display tends to turn lighter at high temperatures and darker with slower response time at low temperatures. In either case, when the temperature returns to normal, the displays also return to normal.

• Matrix Metering indication ED appears in the viewfinder.
• The frame is divided into 10 segments in Matrix Metering, and data from each segment is used to determine correct exposure. Use of a D-type Nikkor lens automatically activates 3D Matrix Metering (page 48), which accounts for scene brightness and contrast, as well as subject distance (Distance Information) in order to determine exposure accurately.
5.2 Set the exposure mode select dial to P (Programmed Auto).
•When the shutter release button is lightly pressed, shutter speed and aperture appear in the LCD panel and viewfinder.
Check points
Three metering systems—the F80/F80D/F80S features Matrix, Centre­Weighted and Spot Metering (page 48). Four exposure modes—the F80/F80D/F80S features Programmed Auto, Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual exposure modes. Each exposure mode provides a choice of exposure controls for various shooting situations. See step 5.2 for a summary of each exposure mode and its reference page for operating instructions and details.

A
Aperture-Priority Auto P. 54
You set the desired aperture, and the camera selects the correct shutter speed. Lets you determine depth of the in-focus area (page 88), so you can choose whether near or far subjects are in sharp focus, or whether foreground or background is to be blurred.
M
Manual P. 56 Shutter speed and aperture are set
manually. Suitable for situations where it is difficult to attain the desired effect using other exposure modes. Also, use Manual exposure mode when using a non-CPU Nikkor lens. (Camera's exposure meter cannot be used.)
Hold Camera and Focus
6 Lightly pressing the shutter release button automatically focuses the camera on the subject and when the subject is in focus, causes • to appear in the viewfinder.
6.1 Hold the camera properly.
• Keep your elbow propped against your body for support.
• Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body still.
• Grasp the camera handgrip with your right hand and use your left hand to cradle the camera (or lens).
Camera shake and shutter speed___________________
Preventing camera shake is crucial when taking photographs. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than 1/60 sec. Use of a tripod or Speedlight (pages 30, 78) is recommended for shooting at shutter speeds slower than 1/60 sec.
NOTE: Composing frame______________________
This camera's viewfinder frame shows approximately 92% of the image actually exposed on the film frame. Therefore, the actual exposed frame
Nikon

file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80.htm (17 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:24 PM]
is somewhat larger than the image you see through the viewfinder. Note that the edges of a negative film are partially cropped by most labs.
Check points
Dioptre adjustment (page 66) enables you to see more clearly through the viewfinder. To take a picture of a subject outside the focus area, shift the focus area by using the focus area selector (page 42) or use focus lock (page
44). F80D/F80S only: You can imprint date and/or time (page 90) or shooting data (F80S only) on your photos/negatives (page 94).
6.2 Compose frame and focus by lightly pressing the shutter release button.
• Centre the focus brackets on your subject and lightly press the shutter release button. The camera focuses automatically and focus indicator appears or blinks as follows.
• appears: Subject is in focus.
• blinks: Unable to focus using autofocus.
• With dark subjects, the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator (page 43) is automatically activated to guide autofocus.
• To take a picture of a subject outside the focus area, shift the focus area by using the focus area selector (page 42) or use focus lock (page 44).
• In situations where autofocus may not work as expected, see page 46.
Confirm Indications in Viewfinder and Release Shutter

pressing the shutter release button. (Shutter speed and aperture are shown in 1/2 steps.)
• When the subject is dark or the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., use the built-in Speedlight to avoid picture blur (page 30).
• If any warning indications appear in the LCD panel or viewfinder, see page 101.
7.2 Confirm that focus indicator • appears and slowly depress the shutter release button.
• After shutter is released, the film automatically advances to the next frame and the next shot can be taken.
Check points
Focus, shutter speed and aperture can be confirmed in the viewfinder. If any other warning indications appear, see page 101. When you reach the end of the film roll, the film starts to rewind automatically. For mid-roll rewind, see page 36. For self-timer operation, see page 68.
7.3 Film starts to rewind automatically when film reaches the end of the roll.
7.4 Confirm that film is completely rewound, then remove film cartridge.

file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80.htm (19 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:24 PM]
• Film is completely rewound when the frame counter shows blinking "£" in the LCD panel and viewfinder. (E appears without blinking when the exposure meter is off.) Open the camera back away from sunlight and remove the film cartridge by tilting it to one side.
8 Using Built-in Speedlight
When the subject is dark or the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec., use the built-in Speedlight to avoid picture blur. Speedlight photography is also suitable for shooting backlit subjects.
8.1 Press the Speedlight lock-release button to release the Speedlight. The Speedlight starts charging automatically.
Suitable situations for use of Speedlight_______________
• Shutter speed is slower than 1/60 sec.
• Subject is dark at night or indoors.
• Subject is backlit or when more light is desired on the main subject, such as the subject's face.
NOTE: Continuous use of built-in Speedlight
After continuous use of the built-in Speedlight, it may stop firing to protect the firing tube. Wait for a while before using the Speedlight again.

The built-in Speedlight offers an angle of coverage of 28mm tens with
a guide number of 12 (ISO 100, m).
Using a D-type Nikkor lens enables use of 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced
Fill-Flash. (For details, see page 78.)
Be sure to remove (or store) the lens hood before flash shooting.
Some lenses have limitations using the built-in Speedlight and may
cause vignetting. (For details, see page 84.)
• Normal Front-Curtain Sync flash mode is introduced in this section. Flash with Red-Eye Reduction, which reduces the "red-eye" effect with a person or animal, and Slow Sync flash, which brings out the background details, are also available. For details, see page 80.
• With dark subjects, the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator is automatically activated to guide autofocus. See page 43 for details.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
When a D-type Nikkor lens is attached, it integrates Distance Information from the lens with other exposure control information, automatically compensating the flash output level so that flash output and ambient light are balanced (page 78).
About Metering System and Exposure Metering systems and exposure are important factors for taking
pictures. Knowing the characteristics of each factor helps you widen your photographic expression.
•Metering System As the proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for correct
exposure is determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring subject brightness is very important. In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The F80/F80D/F80S provides three metering systems: Matrix Metering, Centre-Weighted Metering and Spot Metering. With Matrix Metering, scene brightness data is detected by the 10-segment Matrix sensor. With Centre-Weighted Metering, most of the meter's sensitivity is concentrated on the 12mm-diameter centre circle in the viewfinder. Spot Metering sensitivity is concentrated in a small, selected focus area from five available focus areas. Using D-type Nikkor lenses, the F80/F80D/ F80S camera performs 3D Matrix Metering by adding distance information to determine correct exposure. See page 48.
Exposure
Nikon

file:///D|/CAMERA REPAIR/Nikon F80/F80.htm (21 of 78) [3/19/2004 11:39:24 PM]
Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Shutter speed and aperture control how much light reaches the film. The combination of shutter speed and aperture appropriate for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in correct exposure—a result provided by the F80/F80D/F80S's four exposure modes: Programmed Auto (page 50), Shutter-Priority Auto (page 52), Aperture-Priority Auto (page 54) and Manual (page 56) exposure modes. When a highly reflective or very low reflective object is within a frame, correct exposure may not be obtained. In such situations, exposure compensation is required. The F80/F80D/F80S offers auto exposure lock (page 58), exposure compensation (page 60) or Auto Exposure Bracketing function (page 61) allowing a photographer greater control of exposure than that afforded by Auto exposure modes.
