2.1.3 Notes on Optimal Use
2.1.3.1 Use on Nikon Digital Cameras
1. In the “Shooting Menu,” select and set the ISO to 1600
or a comparable fast ISO setting. Some cameras limit the
ISO to 800 while others allow up to 6400.
2. In the “Custom Functions” menu, select ISO Auto and
turn it off.
3. In the “Custom Functions Menu”, select AF Assist and
turn it off. This will prevent the focus assist light from
turning on and helping the camera focus or give your
position away.
4. The camera should be set in a “Manual Exposure
Mode”, not Aperture, Shutter, or Program mode.
5. The lens iris should be set to its widest open position
(f/1.4 as an example).
6. The shutter speed should start off at 1/30
th
of a second,
as this is the slowest shutter speed you can hand-hold
the camera. This can be adjusted to a faster shutter
speed if directed by the camera’s meter.
7. Using the camera’s meter, you can adjust the shutter
speed as required for a perfect exposure.
8. In extreme low-light conditions, you may want to adjust
the “exposure compensation” to a +2 stop.
