I haven't read anything about a manual exposure option. Is there one? Can you manually set the aperture and shutter speed?

I can not answer the question directly, but I would suggest the party go to the Nikon web site and try topull up the Reference Manual for this camera. There is a section called "Easy Auto Mode" that may addressthis issue. It is to detailed for me to included it in this response.

Yes. If I'm looking at it right there are 19 different manual settings from portrait to 3D.

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

Not like a good DSLR will have. It does have the standard point and shoot exposure adjustments. Ie, +1; +2; +3; -3; -2; -1; etc. exposure settings.

In "Easy Auto Mode" the camera takes care of the settings for you. However, in "Auto Mode" you can chose your ISO setting, and white balance. As far as shutter speed, there are a few settings in this mode to set your shutter speed to single, continuous, BSS (best shot selector, it keeps taking pictures as long as you hold the button down and saves only best shots) and multishot 16, which takes up to 16 shots in one burst.

Yep. Manual aperture and focus. Some vignetting and hard to correct distortion but performs great for the price. The 16mm is designed for smaller sensors but the 14mm is the one you want.

Mine came with the program mode. It has manual controls for shutter speed (from 1/1000th of a second to 2 seconds, and Bulb mode), focusing and aperture size (f1.8-f22). The aperture size and shutter speed can also be controlled by the program if you wish. Hope this helps!

Very easy to use it in auto! Three external mechanical dials to set auto, F-Stop, Shutter-speed and ISO. You can also set white balance to auto in the menus. To use shutter or aperture priority, just spin the dials, for example shutter speed or f-stop, to a setting other than "A". The mechanical dials on this camera replicate the way an old-school film camera works, and make everything so easy to use that it will greatly increase your understanding of the auto and the non-auto functions. I've owned many cameras over the last 51 years, and this one is by far my favorite!

Hi Aimee, put the camera in Shutter Priority mode and try 1/250th or faster shutter speed, depending on how much light you have available. A speed of 1/500 of a second will usually stop a bird in flight clearly. If shooting at long telephoto lengths leave Image Stabilization on. Once you master the way to use this (or any other) camera, you'll find it capable of producing beautiful images. Leaving it in Auto mode (or any other) for all situations is not a good answer, they are a compromise. Don't despair, take a few days to really get to know how to use the camera, maybe take a Digital Photo class. You'll be happy with your purchase, you'll understand what a good photo requires and you'll produce great shots time after time. This camera will stack up well against $3,000 + rigs once you master it and it's really not that hard. I know, I have both. Great design, lens, price and results. Have fun!

Yes, there's a manual exposure mode and the lens has a switch to turn auto-focus on or off.

You can set the aperture on-camera. Sorry no one answered your question. I didn't see it till just now.

When set to M all settings are manual. You have to adjust the F stop and or the shutter speed to get the right exposure. I always start off bracketing at least two stops in either direction and then see how the image looks. Make further adjustments then once exposure is set you can just work with focus and framing the shot.

Great Lens...set the aperture to highest setting...then start taking fully auto focused sharp pictures. Get a good filter and start shooting. Enjoy!

Does it still capture an image? even though it doesn't click? I usually toggle with the zoom or the iso. The AF may not be adjusting correctly as it does for the shutter to actually open. Is there a red display box(es) ? or the shooting mode may not be appropriate....

Hi Richard,If you pictures are too bright you can do one of several things:---Step down the aperture on the lens.---Increase how fast your shutter is.---Decrease your exposure compensation.There is no automatic mode on this lens if you are using a Nikon or Canon camera.

I am not exactly sure what the question means but let me say this: you set the ISO, take a reading, and a combination of shutter speed and aperture is displayed. You can then scroll through a combination of equivalent shutter speeds and apertures that give the same exposure. If you want to set the shutter speed to a certain value simply do so and it will show the proper aperture. Or, if you wnat to set the aperture for a particullar reason do so and the shutter speed will automatically be set. I have found, for example, that at 800 ISO the shutter and aperture speed are f11 and 1/1000. If I want to open the aperture by a stop I would double the shutter speed to 1/2000. If I want a smaller aperture, e.g. f16 I would change the shutter speed to 1/500. This is all very basic and I hope that it answered the question.

I think you need to use the "M" manual mode to set it. Otherwise, using the "S" setting allows the camera to prioritize the highest shutter speed under the conditions with the aperture to adjust to the correct exposure. When the aperture is at the maximum, the the shutter adjusts to a slower speed for the correct exposure.

Hi Allison, yes you can. Set the camera to either one of these settings, Aperture priority or Manual mode and set the aperture to the highest f stop (lowest number), also change the focus area to flexible spot to enable you to choose which area to focus on. Thanks_Mitch

HGW, you have to manually zoom but it has auto-focus. I don't know the exact time on pressing the shutter release and the taking of the photo but you can take about 10 photos in about 5 secs. Fastest camera at taking photos I've ever had.

Every DSLR has a setting on the mode wheel that is pretty standard, for manual operation. You will see A for when you want to choose the aperture and let the camera choose the shutter speed, S for when you want to choose the shutter speed and let the camera choose the aperture, and M for when you want to choose both. The 420 works the same way. They all do.

Yes, you will shoot in manual or in aperture priority. It will be a non TTL setup.
