USER-CONTROL MODES
MANUAL MODE
This subject was challenging in terms of
exposure; it was important to retain detail both
in the white feathers and in the black skin at the
base of the swan’s bill. I used manual mode and
checked the histogram after the first shot.
105mm, 1/1000 sec., f/10, ISO 320.
Tip
B (“bulb”), with its unlimited
exposure duration, is only available
in M mode. As such it’s the only
possible choice for exposures longer
than 30 sec., which you’re likely
to need for starry skies, fi reworks
displays, and so on.
Using the Analog exposure
displays
In Manual Mode, an analog exposure
display appears in the center of the
Viewfinder readouts and in the Information
Display. This shows whether the
photograph would be under- or
overexposed at current settings. Adjust
shutter speed and/or aperture until the
indicator is aligned with the 0 mark in the
center of the display: the exposure now
matches the camera’s recommendations.
The D5300’s metering is good enough that
this will generally be correct, but if time
allows it is often helpful to review the
image and check the histogram display
(see Playback, page 96) after taking a
shot. If necessary, you can then make
adjustments for creative effect or to
achieve a specific result. The Analog
exposure display also appears in P, S,
and A modes when you apply Exposure
compensation (see page 66).
and shutter speed and aperture settings
will appear below the Viewfinder image.
Check the analog exposure display in
the Viewfinder (and/or the playback
histogram), and if necessary adjust settings
to achieve correct exposure.
4) Rotate the Command Dial to alter the
shutter speed.
5) Hold
and rotate the Command Dial
to alter the aperture.
6) Fully depress the shutter release to take
the picture.
