SHOOTING IN P MODE
The Nikon N2000 lets you choose four ex
posure modes, the Dual Program modes
(P and PHI > and Aperture-Priority (A), plus
Manual (M). Of the four modes, P mode is
the easiest to use for most photography.
For details, refer to pages 19 to 22.
■1C Set shooting mode selector dial to P.
Turn the dial while pressing the lock
button.
■17 Set lens to its minimum
‘ aperture (largest
f/number).
18. Compose and focus.
(A) Split-image focusing
For precise, pinpoint focusing of subjects with distinct contours,
turn the focusing ring until the sptit-image becomes whole,
(B) Microprism focusing
For rapid focusing and for subjects with indistinct outlines, turn
the focusing ring until the shimmering image becomes sharp,
(C) Matte field focusing
For close-up photography al high magnification, or when using a
telephoto lens with a maximum aperture ol approx, ffll or
smaller, the split-image may darken. Turn the focusing ring until
the image on the matte field appears sharp.

EXPOSURE--------------------------
PROGRAMMED EXPOSURE MODES
The N2000's microcomputer automatically sets the optimum
combination of shutter speed and lens aperture. Dual Program
lets you select two programmed automatic modes—normal (P)
and high-speed (P HI), If you require a high shutter speed, such
as when using a telephoto lens or for shooting a fast-moving
subject, select P HI. fSee pages 13 to 17 for operation of pro
grammed automatic exposure.)
Dual program chart (50mm f/1.4, ISO 100)
This EV (exposure value) chart demonstrates the ditferertce
between the N2000’s Normal and High-Speed Programs, Just
look where either colored line intersects with a diagonal line.
This shows the combination ot aperture (horizontal line) and
shutter speed (vertical line). For example, at a brightness of EV
12, the N2000 selects f/4 and 1/250 sec, at "P HI"; f/5,6 and
1/125 sec, at "P" (with 50 mm f/1,4 lens at ISO 100),
APERTURE-PRIORITY EXPOSURE MODE
Al A. the N2000's microcomputef automatically selects the
correct shutter speed to match the aperture you set. This is the
recommended mode when depth of field is your prime consider
ation. If you want to blur the background in portraitures, for in
stance, use wide apertures. To make everything come out sharp
in scenic photography, use small apertures,

3. Look inside viewfinder and lightly press shutter release
button.
The LED shows the shutter speed selected by the camera for
correct exposure with the aperture you set. If there Is no
warning bleep, you can take the picture by depressing the
shutter release button.
If ihere is a warning bleep, check
the viewfinder LEO indicators for ihe
following:

circle, or when there is a substantial difference in brightness
between the main subject and the background (e,g„ a strongl/
backlit subject), use the auto exposure lock lever. Holding the
lever in locks the correct exposurevaiueon the principal subject
of your picture.
1. Center principal subject inside the viewfinder or move in
closer to the subject.
2. Lightly press shutter release button.
3. Turn auto exposure lock lever towards lens and hold it in.
4. Recompose and shoot.
When you recompose, in A mode, the LED that indícales the
shutter speed for the central I2mm-dia. circle area blinks. (See
example at right). Ignore the blinking LED. The shutter operates
at the speed indicated by the tivup LED (1/60 sec. in the
example). In P and P HI modes, only the iil-up LED is shown.

seconds, the warnings speed up, telling you to get ready. If you
want to cancel the self-timer after activating it. press the button a
second time.
In the P, P HI or A mode, use the eyepiece cover to prevent stray
light from entering the viewfinder.
Regardless of the film advance mode selector setting, only
single-frame shooting is possible.
FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY-
The N2000 accessory shoe allows direct mourning of Nikon
dedicated electronic flash units.
When the N2000 is set at A. P, P HI, or a manual setting of
1/250 sec. or higher, shutter speed automatically switches to
1/125 sec. for proper flash synchronization. When the N2000 is
set at a manual setting of 1/125 sec. or slower, shutter operates
at the speed set on the dial.
Ready-light indication in the viewfinder is also provided with
Nikon dedicated flash units. With the camera’s meter on, a
thunderbott-mark LED ready-light comes on to indicate the flash
is ready to fire. Warning indications are provided by a blinking
ready-light. Conditions represented by the warning vary between
flash unit models. For details, see your flash unit instruction
manual.

VIEWFINDER READY-LIGHT WARNINGS
In both programmed TTL auto and TTL aulo flash photography,
the viewfinder ready-light blinks to warn of improper film selec
tion, poor connection between camera and flash unit, or
underexposure possibility. To prevent the viewfinder ready-light
from blinking:
1 > Use film with ISO range of ISO 25 to 1000,
2) Keep flash unit and camera electrical connections clean.
3) Make sure the subject is within the automatic shooting
range’ and, if necessary, set lens to wider aperture.
'See your flash unit instruction manual.
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY-
An appropriate filter is rieeded for infrared photography, such as
R60, etc.
1. Focus subject.
2. Note the focused distance on the lens that is aligned with the
distance index.
3. Then reset the focusing ring to align the focused distance
with the infrared focusing index.
Attach filter and take the shot.
CAMERA CARE TIPS
1. Never loucfi the reflex mirror or focus
ing screen. Remove dusl with a blower
brush.
7. Clean glass surfaces such as the lens
or the viewfinder eyepiece with blower
brush; avoid using lens tissue as much
as possible. Wipe dirt and smudges,
using soft cotton moistened with pure
alcohol, in a spiral motion from center
2, Never touch the shutter curtains.
to periphery. Be careful not to leave
traces.
Cautfon
A spray gun-type blower may damage the
glass (especially when ED glass is used
for the front lens element) if used to clean
the lens. To avoid damage, hold blower
upright with the nozzle more than 30cm
{12 in.) away from the lens surface, and
keep the nozzle moving so the stream of
air is not concentrated in one spot.
3. Never touch the DX-contacIs. Keep
clean with blower brush.
8, Do not lubricate the camera.
4. Do not leave your camera in an exces
sively hot place.
5. If the camera ts exposed to rain or
mist, or after shooting near the sea.
wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
6. If the camera malfunctions, take it im
mediately to an authorized Nikon
dealer or service center.
9. Store the camera in a cool, dry place
away from naphthalene or camphor
(moth repellents).
In humid environments, store camera
inside a vinyl bag with a desiccant to
keep out dust, moisture and salt.
Note, however, that storing the leather
case in a vinyl bag may cause the
leather to deteriorate.
