Notes

Flash Control

Flash output is adjusted using one of the following systems when a CPU lens is used in
combination with the built-in flash or optional SB-400, SB-800, or SB-600 Speedlights.

Standard i-TTL flash control is used with spot metering (A 62) or when selected with the
optional Speedlight. i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR is used in all other cases.

Shutter Speeds Available with the Built-in Flash

Aperture, Sensitivity, and Flash Range

Flash range varies with sensitivity (ISO equivalency) and aperture.

i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR

Flash output is adjusted for a natural balance between the main subject and the
background.

Standard i-TTL Fill-Flash for Digital SLR

Flash output is adjusted for the main subject; the brightness of the background is not taken
into account. Recommended for use with exposure compensation, for shots in which the
main subject is emphasized at the expense of background details.
