Check that the “

a

” (ready light) is displayed in the

viewfinder.

Bear in mind the composition, focus and effective flash range when taking pictures.

●

If the “

a

” (ready light) flashes for about 3 seconds after the shutter is released, this is a warning that the flash fired at

full power and the shot may be underexposed. Play the image back to check it. If you decide to retake the shot,
check the shooting distance, aperture, flash control range, etc. again before shooting.

●

If the subject is dark, the AF-assist illuminator fires to set the focus. See P.38 for details.

●

When you use the flash, shots are not taken continuously when the release mode is set to Continuous Shooting.

●

If the built-in flash is charging, camera-shake correction is not performed on a VR lens while the shutter button is
pressed down halfway.

●

If you take a number of continuous shots with the built-in
flash, the “

a

” (ready light) may take a few moments to light.

●

The shutter cannot be released unless “

a

” (ready light)

appears without blinking in the viewfinder.

■ Effective range of the built-in flash

The effective range of the built-in flash varies depending on the ISO sensitivity and aperture settings
used. Refer to the table below.

Operation described in this section applies when the built-in flash and D- or G-type AF Nikkor are
attached.

Center-weighted metering

Matrix metering

Set the metering system selector dial to “Matrix
metering” or “Center-weighted metering”.

1 Press the flash pop-up button to pop up the

flash.

2 Hold down the “

v

” button.

3 Turn the Main-command dial to select the

synchro mode.

Set exposure mode and confirm shutter speed and
aperture.

✽ Shutter speeds faster than the synchronized speed (1/180 sec.) cannot be set. When “180” appears in the viewfinder

display and the specified shutter speed flashes on the display panel, the actual shutter speed is 1/180 sec.

✽ The shooting distance is determined by the ISO setting and the aperture. For the “A” and “M” exposure modes, see the

table below.

✽ For the “P” exposure mode, the maximum aperture that can be set by the camera varies depending on the ISO setting.

See P.75.

●

If you select “

0

” (Spot Metering), the flash control mode is

switched to “Standard D-TTL”.

●

When you are not using the flash, always keep it stowed
away to prevent battery depletion.

Synchronized shutter speed: 1/180
sec. See P.69 for details.
