compensation can be adjusted by ±5 EV,
only values between –3 and +3 EV can
be previewed in the monitor).
A Exposure Preview
Matrix metering is used to set exposure.
Exposure can not be
previewed when an optional flash unit is attached, bracketing is in
effect (pg. 130), active D-lighting is on (pg. 181), or shutter speed is
set to A or “p” (flash sync speed).
A Remote Cords
If the shutter-release button on a remote cord (available separately; see
pg. 392) is pressed halfway for over a second in tripod mode, it will
activate contrast-detect autofocus.
If the remote cord shutter-release
button is pressed all the way down without focusing, focus will not be
adjusted before the picture is taken.
