GLOSSARY
AE (Automatic Exposure) lock
Used to hold an automatically controlled shutter speed and/or
aperture. Recommended when the photographer wants to
control an exposure based on a scene’s particular brightness
area with Center-Weighted or Spot Metering.
Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash
A type of TTL auto flash operation which uses the camera’s
exposure meter to control ambient light exposure settings, inte-
grated with flash exposure control. That is, flash output level is
automatically compensated to balance with ambient light,
resulting in a better exposure for both subject and background.
Nikon’s Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash system includes: 3D
Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-
Flash, Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash, Center-Weighted Fill-Flash and
Spot Fill-Flash. 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash and Multi-
Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash together comprise Automatic
Balanced Fill-Flash with TTL Multi Sensor. Performance varies
with the combination of camera body, Speedlight and lens
used.
Balanced fill-flash operation
A flash photography technique that balances flash illumination
with the scene’s ambient light. This automatic operation utilizes
the F5’s Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash System with TTL Multi
Sensor and a compatible Nikon TTL Speedlight.
Continuous Servo AF
Focus detection continues as long as shutter release button is
lightly pressed and the reflex mirror is in the viewing position.
Useful when the camera-to-subject distance is likely to change.
CPU
Central Processing Unit. The electronic component that controls
an electronic product’s functions.
AF Nikkor (including D-type Nikkor) and AI-P-Nikkor lenses have
built-in CPUs.
