Flash Photo • Built-in Speedlight This camera is equipped with a built-in Speedlight that provides an angle of coverage for a 28mm lens with a guide number of 12 (IS0100, m) or 40 (IS0100, ft.) . TIL Auto Flash modes such as 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced FillFlash and Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash are available and ensure proper exposure of the main subject and background, while providing adequate flash output to create natural-looking flash photography. In addition to shooting in dim light, the flash can be used in daylight to reduce shadows on the main subject or to put catchlights in your subject's eyes. Five flash sync modes-FrontCurtain Sync (Normal Sync), Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync, Red-Eye Reduction and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync-are available with this camera. • See below for the TIL Flash modes, page 82 for using the built-in Speedlight, page 80 for the flash sync modes and page 86 for the optional Speedlights. • The following TIL Auto Flash modes are available with built-in Speedlight depending on the type of lens used. See page 86 for the optional Speedlights. Lens 0 - or G-type Nikkor lens CPU Nikkor lens other than D/Gtype (except AF Nikkor for F3AF) Non-CPU Nikkor lens TIL Auto Flash mode 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash*' (with Distance Information and Monitor Pre-Flash*2) Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash*' (with Monitor Pre-Flash*2) Standard TIL*3 ", When built-in Speed/ight is used and the exposure mode is set to Manual or Spot metering is selected, TTL Auto Flash mode automatically changes to Standard TTL Flash. "2 To cancel Monitor Pre-Flash, select Manual exposure mode or Spot metering. "3 Monitor-Pre Flash is not fired in Standard TTL Flash. 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash can be performed with a combination of the N80/N80aD camera and 0 - or G-type Nikkor lens. In this flash mode, just after you press the shutter release button and before the shutter is activated, the built-in Speedlight will fire a series of imperceptible pre-flashes that are detected by the N80/N80aD's five-segment TIL Multi Sensor, then analyzed for brightness and contrast. Furthermore, it integrates Distance Information from the lens with other exposure control information, automatically compensating the flash output level so that flash output and ambient light are balanced. 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash enables flash photography in very difficult situations, such as a scene that includes an object with extremely high reflectivity or a subject against an "infinite" background (empty sky, clouds, etc.). • Set the camera's exposure mode to any mode other than Manual and metering system to other than Spot when using built-in Speedlight. 78
