Nikon DS-2MBW Instruction Manual page 59

If fluctuations in exposure caused by movement of the subject presents a problem, use
•
AE_L to temporarily hold the exposure value. During that time,
red.
• Recommended example: General photography of a relatively bright subject
S_AE:
Choose "S_AE" when you fix the electronic shutter while photographing the subject.
With the electronic shutter fixed to its set value, the DS-L1 automatically sets the camera
sensitivity.
Effective in cases where the brightness of the subject changes frequently while
•
being observed under predetermined conditions and you are concerned with the
response of automatic exposure.
To photograph a moving subject while stopping it with an electronic shutter, use this
•
exposure mode in combination with "1.3Mp", "2Mfull", or "800*5" display mode.
• If fluctuations in exposure caused by movement of the subject presents a problem,
use
AE_L to temporarily hold the exposure value. During that time,
red.
Recommended example: Stereoscopic microscope observation
•
MANU:
Choose "MANU" if you are always photographing under the same exposure conditions or
photographing special subjects.
In this mode, the electronic shutter speed or the camera sensitivity is manually set in the
Advn. menu.
The electronic shutter speed can be set from 1/1,000 s to 60 s for the non-cooled
•
camera and 1/1,000 to 600 s for the cooled camera.
The camera sensitivity can be set from x1 (C_gn.100) to x46 (C_gn.4600).
•
Effective for fluorescent photography where careful consideration is required to
•
determine the exposure, as well as for subjects that have partial highlight
reflections.
Recommended example: Fluorescent photography, stereoscopic microscope
•
observation, metal photomicrography
F_AE:
Choose "F_AE" when the subject is dark, image updates go slow, and you have difficulty
adjusting the focus.
Increase the camera gain to prevent the exposure time from increasing.
In this exposure mode, noise will stand out because the gain is high, but when using
•
(exposure start button), the image is photographed after automatically
increasing the exposure time and decreasing the gain.
• Even when "F_AE" mode is selected, if the subject is relatively bright, the original
combination of display mode and source will be followed.
When using
•
