Weighted and Spot Metering (page 48).
Four exposure modes—the F80/F80D/F80S features Auto-Multi

exposure modes. Each exposure mode provides a choice of exposure
controls for various shooting situations. See step 5.

Check points
BASIC OPERATION
Set metering system to
(Matrix Metering) and exposure
mode to ¡ (Auto-Multi Progam).
Set the metering system selector to (Matrix
Metering).
Matrix Metering indication q appears in the viewfinder.
The frame is divided into 10 segments in Matrix Metering, and data from
each segment is used to determine correct exposure. Use of a D- or G-
type Nikkor lens automatically activates 3D Matrix Metering (page 48),
which accounts for scene brightness and contrast, as well as subject
distance (Distance Information) in order to determine exposure accurately.
5.2
Set the exposure mode select dial to ¡ (Auto-Multi
Progam).
When the shutter release button is lightly pressed, shutter speed and
aperture appear in the LCD panel and viewfinder.

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.)
