Getting to Know Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control
The Exposure 1 Tab
The fol low ing settings can be adjusted from
the Exposure 1 tab:
Exposure Mode
This menu can be used to set the exposure
mode for D2H and D1-series cameras. If the
D100 is connected, it will show the current
exposure mode, but the exposure mode
must be selected using the camera function
dial. See the camera manual for details.
Shutter Speed
Shutter speed can only be adjusted in Man-
u al and Speed Priority modes, when it can
be set to values between the max i mum and
min i mum val ues supported by the camera.
Use high shut ter speeds to freeze mo tion,
low shut ter speeds to suggest mo tion by
blur ring moving objects.
Aperture
Aperture can only be adjusted in Manual and Aperture Pri or i ty modes, when it can be set
to values between maximum and min i mum ap er ture (small apertures have high f-num bers,
wide ap er tures low f-numbers; the ac tu al ap er tures available depend on the lens used). Ap-
er ture can not be controlled from Nikon Cap ture when Custom Setting 22 (
251) has been
set to allow aperture to be ad just ed manually using the lens aperture ring (D1-series only).
Exposure Comp.
Exposure compensation is useful when shooting subjects containing sharp lighting con trasts,
or on other occasions when you want to modify the exposure value determined by the cam-
era. Exposure compensation is available in all exposure modes.
Flash Comp. (D100 only)
This option is used to adjust the level of the D100’s built-in Speedlight.
Flexible Program
Flexible program can only be used in Program Mode, when it allows you to choose from
pre de ter mined combinations of shutter speed and aperture appropriate to current lighting
conditions.

Bulb
At a shutter speed of Bulb, the shutter remains while the shutter release button is held down. Use the
camera shut ter-release button to take photos at this setting. Clicking either of the shoot buttons will
display an error message.
