Use this program whenever you are taking
pictures of people. It uses a relatively large
aperture (smaller f-number) and shallow depth of
field to create a blurred background to accentuate
your main subject.
Recommended AF Nikkor lenses: 85mm to
200mm telephoto lenses with large maximum
apertures.
c
: Landscape Program
Use this program whenever you're taking a picture
of a distant scene. It generally selects a smaller
aperture to assure sharply focused landscape
pictures.
Recommended lenses: you can use the full range
of lenses (wideangle to telephoto) to achieve
different effects.
• To avoid camera shake, use a tripod.
v
: Close-Up Program
Use this program when you are taking pictures up
close. It uses a larger aperture (smaller f-number)
and a shallow depth of field to create a blurred
background that accentuates your main subject.
Recommended AF Nikkor lenses: AF Micro-Nikkor
lenses.
• To avoid camera shake, use a tripod.
