Troubleshooting
● ● ●
If the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally
If the wide-flash adapter is subjected to a strong impact while set on the flash
head, it may be broken off. In this case, visit your nearest authorized Nikon
service center for repair.
• If the wide-flash adapter is broken off, it is no longer possible to set the zoom-head
position to anything other than 14mm. To adjust the zoom-head position, refer to the
Custom Settings “Zoom-head position setting if the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken
off accidentally” (p. 52).
