Type B BriteView Clear Matte Mark VIII screen with AF area brackets and framing grid

Quick return

When Pv button is pressed, lens aperture is stopped down to value selected by user (A and M modes) or by camera (P and S modes)

Instant return, electronically controlled

Compatible with AF NIKKOR lenses, including type G and D lenses (some restrictions apply to PC Micro-NIKKOR lenses) and DX lenses (using DX 24 x 16 1.5x image area), AI-P NIKKOR lenses, and non-CPU AI lenses (exposure modes A and M only). IX NIKKOR lenses, lenses for the F3AF, and non-AI lenses can not be used. The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster (the electronic rangefinder supports the 11 focus points with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/8 or faster).

Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter

TTL exposure metering using RGB sensor with approximately 91K (91,000) pixels

Matrix: 3D color matrix metering III (type G and D lenses); color matrix metering III (other CPU lenses); color matrix metering available with non-CPU lenses if user provides lens data Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to 12 mm circle in center of frame. Diameter of circle can be changed to 8, 15, or 20 mm, or weighting can be based on average of entire frame (non-CPU lenses use 12-mm circle or average of entire frame) Spot: Meters 4 mm circle (about 1.5% of frame) centered on selected focus point (on center focus point when non-CPU lens is used)

Matrix or center-weighted metering: -1 - +20 EV Spot metering: 2-20 EV
