Nikon D3s Body Only D3S User's Manual - Page 216

D Notes on Optional Flash Units Refer to the flash unit manual for detailed instructions. If the unit supports CLS, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D3S is not included in the "digital SLR" category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals. i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 200 and 12800. At values over 12800, the desired results may not be achieved at some ranges or aperture settings. If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about three seconds after a photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full power and the photograph may be underexposed. View the photograph in the monitor; if it is underexposed, adjust aperture, ISO sensitivity, or the distance to the subject and try again. When an SC-series 17, 28, or 29 sync cable is used for off-camera flash photography, correct exposure may not be achieved in i-TTL mode. We recommend that you select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor. In i-TTL, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the flash unit. Do not use other panels such as diffusion panels, as this may produce incorrect exposure. The D3S supports power zoom with the following optional flash units: the SB-900, SB-800, and SB-600. Power zoom is not supported with other flash units. l 190
