Extreme Low-Light Metering
The meter built into the Nikon F2AS camera is capable of
metering low-light levels requiring slow shutter speeds of
up to 10 seconds. To meter at low-light levels, perform the
following: Set the lens’ aperture ring to the desired aperture
setting, and the shutter-speed selector to “B”; then, depress
and hold the shutter-speed dial lock and turn the selector until
the center LED exposure indicator (o) illuminates to indi-
cate correct exposure. Having set the selector, read off the
number on the extralong exposure scale and set the camera’s
self-timer for the indicated value; then, set the T-L fingerguard
to “T” and depress the shutter button to make the exposure.
When performing low-light metering, be sure to block the
entry of stray light into the viewfinder by closing the eye-
piece shutter or by continuously viewing through the finder.
(Refer to accompanying photos for details.)
Time Exposures
The Nikon F2AS Photomicofferstime exposure shooting con-
venience via built-in controls which enable long exposures
without the need for accessory equipment. To make an expo-
sure longer than 10 seconds, set the shutter-speed selector to
“B” and turn the T-L fingerguard to “T” as described in “Ex-
tra-long Exposures.” Advance the film and press the shutter-
release button to open the shutter. As long as the fingerguard
remains set to “T.” the shutter will remain open. When return-
ing the fingerguard to the normal center position to close the
shutter, be careful not to move or shake the camera, as a blurred
image may result.
Note: Operation with a Nikon cable release (see page 15) can also
provide for time exposures via the release’s built-in locking func-
tion. For operation in these cases, leave the T L fingerguard in the
center position and trigger the camera with the shutter speed dial set
to the “B” setting.
