Greetings,
I have a Nikon N8008s slr camera and am using a Nikon AF Nikkor 70~210mm Non-D Lens. Great combo. With this lens, I am limited to the number of program modes I can access. When in Manual mode, I get the exposure grid showing (with arrows) which way to go. I tried just moving the aperture in the direction the arrow indicates. Unfortunately, no luck. So, when the grid appears, what do I do? I have studied the operating manual until I am blue in the face, but there is no clear indication of what to do. The only option I have is to use the aperture priority mode, which I am not all that comfortable with. I press the +/- button, which then shows the grid at being dead center. It is difficult to hold the button down while pressing the shutter release button at the same time. Perhaps I could mount the outfit on a tripod, use the shutter cable release while holding down the +/- button. Thanks for any assistance offered.
Tony
