Shutter Speed

Shutter speed can only be adjusted in Manual and Shutter Priority modes, when it can be set to values between the maximum and minimum values supported by the camera. Use high shutter speeds to freeze motion, low shutter speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects. Note that the shutter speed cannot be adjusted if On is selected for Shutter speed & aperture lock > Shutter speed lock (D6 / D5 / D4 series / D850 / D810 / D810A / D800 / D800E / D700 / D500 / Z 7II / Z 6II / Z 7 / Z 6 / Z 5) or ON is selected for Control lock > Shutter speed lock (Z 9 / Z 8) in the Custom Settings menu.

When Shutter Priority or Manual is selected for Exposure Mode with a Z 9 (firmware version 3.00 or later) or Z 8, enabling High-frequency flicker reduction allows shutter speeds between ¹⁄₈₀₀₀ and ¹⁄₃₀ s to be adjusted in smaller increments, letting speeds that keep flicker to a minimum be found by viewing the preview in the shooting display.

When high-frequency flicker reduction is enabled, the denominator in the shutter speed display changes to show values to a tenth of a second. Shutter speed can be adjusted in small increments using the and arrows, with the updated values appearing in the shutter speed display. The size of the increments used can be chosen from values between 1 and 10 using the pull-down menu.

Aperture

Aperture can only be adjusted in Manual and Aperture Priority modes, when it can be set to values between maximum and minimum aperture (small apertures have high f-numbers, wide apertures low f-numbers; the actual apertures available depend on the lens used). Refer to Non-CPU Lenses for further information when connecting the camera with a non-CPU lens. Note that the aperture cannot be adjusted if On is selected for Shutter speed & aperture lock > Aperture lock (D6 / D5 / D4 series / D850 / D810 / D810A / D800 / D800E / D700 / D500 / Z 7II / Z 6II / Z 7 / Z 6 / Z 5) or ON is selected for Control lock > Aperture lock (Z 9 / Z 8) in the Custom Settings menu.

Exposure Comp.

Exposure compensation is useful when shooting subjects containing sharp lighting contrasts, or on other occasions when you want to modify the exposure value determined by the camera. Depending on the camera, exposure compensation may not be available in some exposure modes; see the camera manual for details.

Flash Comp.

This option is used to adjust the level of the camera’s built-in flash.

Flexible Program

Flexible program is not available when C15, C30, C60, or C120 is selected for Release Mode in the Mechanical tab (Z 9 / Z 8).
