About LCD • At high temperatures of 60°C or above, the display turns black, making it impossible to read. It returns to normal when the temperature drops to 20°C. • At temperatures below freezing, the LCD’s response time slows; when the temperature rises, it returns to normal.

28 29 F60 (E) 02.12.27 5:34 PM Page 30 WWW.LENSINC.NET About Focus and Exposure

Focus, exposure and metering system are important factors for taking pictures. Knowing the characteristics of each factor helps you widen your photographic expression.

Focus and depth of field When focusing, depth of field should be considered. Depth of field is the zone of sharpest focus in front of and behind the subject on which the lens is focused. It varies according to shooting distance, focal length and, above all, aperture. Smaller apertures (larger f-numbers) will produce a deeper depth of field where DETAILED the background and foreground become sharper; larger apertures (smaller f- numbers) will produce a shallower depth of field where the background becomes blurred. OPERATION Exposure Light from the subject passes through the lens and is sensed by the film. Light reaching the film is controlled by the shutter speed and aperture. The proper This section features detailed descriptions of combination of shutter speed and aperture for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in the correct exposure. all camera functions — including lens, film, The F60/F60D’s General-Purpose Program, Auto-Multi Program and Vari- focus, exposure and others. Program automatically control shutter speed and aperture. In Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, you can manually set shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the proper aperture. In Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, you can manually set aperture and the camera automatically sets the proper shutter speed. In Manual exposure mode, you manually set both shutter speed and aperture.

Metering System As the proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure is determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring subject brightness is very important. In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The F60/F60D provides two metering systems: Matrix Metering and Centre-Weighted Metering. With Matrix Metering, data on scene brightness is detected by the six-segment Matrix sensor. With Centre-Weighted Metering, most of the meter’s sensitivity is concentrated on the 12mm-diameter centre circle in the viewfinder. (With D- or G- AF Nikkor lenses, the F60/F60D camera performs 3D Matrix Metering. See page 48.)

Wipe the batteries well with a dry cloth before installing. • Use fresh batteries at low temperatures Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately. • Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film roll becomes less at low temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature returns to normal. • Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge batteries.
