Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode
You manually set the shutter speed you want. To freeze the
action, use a high shutter speed;
to
create motion effects,
choose a slower shutter speed. The
N70's
microcomputer
automatically sets the proper aperture
to
match the manually
selected shutter speed for correct exposure. See pages 52
to
54 for Shutter-Priority Auto operation.
Note that Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode operates only
with Nikon lenses that have
a built-in CPU
(A
F Nikkor
and
AI-P
Nikkor lenses).
Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode
You can control depth
of
field by varying the aperture. Smaller
apertures make the background and foreground sharper
(recommended for landscape pictures) whi
le
larger apertures
tend
to
blur the background (recommended for portraits).
Your selected aperture w
ill
determine the shutter speed that
is
automatica
ll
y set by the camera's microcomputer. When using
smaller apertures with correspondingly slower shutter speeds,
remember that, generally, any speed below 1/(focal length
in
use) second, requires the use
of
a tripod to prevent picture blur
due
to
camera shake. The higher the
cor
responding shutter
speed to the aperture you set, the easier
it
is
to
stop ac
ti
on.
Adjust the selected aperture if the speed is not appropriate for
conditions or the specific effect you want.
For Aperture-Priority Auto operation, see pages 55
to

For a technically correct exposure,
follow the recommendation of the camera's light meter, as
indicated by LCD readout. To achieve a specific creati

effect
(e.g., intentional blur, intentional under- or over-exposure
),
disregard the LCD and modify the recommended exposure
settings.
