Menu Guide—The Shooting Menu

Options for Optional Speedlights: Speedlight Cntrl

This sub-menu is used to control the built-in Speed-
light when using optional Nikon Speedlights con-
nected to the camera’s sync terminal (

66).

Using an Optional Speedlight

Flash control for optional Speedlights is performed using the photocell on the
built-in Speedlight, which pops up automatically when required in

mode

or when Auto (the default setting) is selected for Pop Up. Do not block the
built-in Speedlight with your fingers or other objects. When the built-in Speed-
light is raised, keep your fingers and other objects away from the photocell.

Flash-Mode Indicators for Optional Speedlights

When Internal Off is selected in the
Speedlight Cntrl sub-menu, a
icon appears next to the flash-mode
indicator to show that built-in Speed-
light is off. Flash mode for the op-
tional Speedlight is set by pressing the

button (

64), and the flash

mode for the optional Speedlight is
shown as at right.
