The following Speedlights can be used with the camera. The standard i-TTL flash

function is available.
• SB-5000, SB-700, SB-500

Attaching the Speedlight

• Do not raise the built-in flash.

• Refer to the manual provided with your Speedlight for information about attaching

the Speedlight.

• Attempting to attach an accessory that does not support this camera may damage

the camera and the accessory.

Notes about the built-in flash

The built-in flash of this camera cannot be used when a Speedlight is attached.
Do not raise the built-in flash when a Speedlight is attached. Doing so may cause it to hit
the Speedlight, resulting in product damage.

Use only Nikon flash accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Flash units of other manufacturers (with voltages over 250 V
applied to the camera’s X sync contact, or causing short circuit at the accessory shoe
contact) could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the
camera or flash.

Notes about using Speedlights (external flash units)

If vignetting appears in the captured image, try to put some distance between the camera
and the subject or remove the lens hood.
