Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the
accessory shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry
of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not included in the list on the
previous page, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
Read the Speedlight Manual
For complete information on using optional Speedlights, refer to the Speedlight manual.
If your Speedlight supports D-TTL flash control, read the section on digital single-lens
reflex cameras in the Speedlight manual (note that the D100 does not support FP high-
speed sync).
