Flash Control (

36, 109)

The following types of fl ash control are supported when a CPU lens is used
in combination with the built-in fl ash or an optional SB-800 or SB-600
Speedlight:

i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR: Flash output is adjusted for a natural bal-
ance between the main subject and the background.
Standard i-TTL Flash for Digital SLR: Flash output is adjusted for the main subject;
the brightness of the background is not taken into account. Recommended for
shots in which the main subject is emphasized at the expense of background de-
tails, or when exposure compensation is used.

Standard i-TTL fl ash control is used when Spot is selected for Custom
Setting 13 (Metering;

96) or exposure mode M is selected when the

built-in fl ash is used. i-TTL balanced fi ll-fl ash for digital SLR is used in all
other cases.
