About Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display

The new Nikon Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the N80/N80QD 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/tllting 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.

Shooting characteristics

Camera controls shutter speed and aperture automatically—allowing you to freely take pictures, concentrating only on the shutter release opportunity. In addition, other settings, such as Flexible Program (page 51) or exposure compensation (page

60) are possible. You set desired shutter speed, and the

camera selects the correct aperture. “Freeze” the motion of a moving subject using a fast shutter speed or “blur" the subject using a slower speed.

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.

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.)

6. 1

Hold Camera and Focus

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.

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

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.
