23: Flash Warning (P, S, A, and M Modes Only) If On (the default setting) is selected and lighting is poor, the flashready light ( ) will flicker in the viewfinder when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to warn that the built-in flash is required. No warning will be displayed if Off is selected. 24: Flash Shutter Speed (P, S, A, and M Modes Only) Choose the slowest shutter speed at which the flash will be used in modes P and A (the default setting is 1/60 s). Regardless of the setting chosen, the flash will fire at shutter speeds as slow as 30 s when set to slow sync ( 41). 25: Auto FP (P, S, A, and M Modes Only) Select On to activate Auto FP High-Speed Sync when using the optional SB-800, SB-600, or SB-R200 flash units at shutter speeds faster than s (because the actual shutter speed may be slightly slower than displayed in P and A modes, Auto FP may not always be activated at a shutter speed of s). Choose to enable fill flash when taking portraits under bright light or when taking photographs at Large apertures. Auto FP High-Speed Sync is not available when using the built-in flash. The default setting is Off. 26: Modeling Flash (P, S, A, and M Modes Only) If On is selected, the built-in flash and optional SB-800, SB-600, and SBR200 flash units will emit a modeling flash when the camera depth-offield preview button is pressed ( 49). The default setting is Off. 27: Monitor-Off (All Modes) Choose how long the monitor remains on when no operations are performed (the default setting is 20 s). Choose a shorter monitor-off delay for longer battery life. Regardless of the setting chosen, the monitor remains on for four seconds during image review ( 88) and for ten minutes when the camera is powered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter. 98 Menu Guide / Custom Settings
