button the camera will exit the Live View mode.
▪ I – This symbol reflects the current light meter mode
you have selected—Matrix, Center-weighted, or Spot.
The same three symbols are on the back of the camera,
next to the Viewfinder’s eyepiece. When you use the
Metering mode selector surrounding the AE-L/AF-L
button, it will change the symbol shown on the Live
View screen. If you change meter modes while a Live
View session is active, you’ll notice that the symbol does
not change immediately. It is not updated until you start
a new Live View session.
▪ J – This symbol shows which exposure metering mode
you are using—P, S, A, or M. You can change this value
with the MODE button near the camera’s Shutter-release
button.
▪ K – This symbol informs you of the camera’s currently

show 30 for 30 seconds, 2 for 2s, 160 for 1/160S, and
8000 for 1/8000S. You control the shutter speed with the
rear Main command dial. By the way, Lo—as shown in
Figure 8-6, position K—appears when ambient light is

(F number). This will vary with the minimum and
maximum aperture for the lens mounted on the camera.
For instance, my camera’s AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm
F/3.5-5.6G ED lens has a maximum aperture of F/3.5,
