If the flash-ready indicator (
) blinks in the viewfinder, the flash can be used for ad-
ditional lighting.
The flash-ready indicator will not be displayed if
Off
is selected for
Custom Setting 20 (

).
Long Time-Exposures
At a shutter speed of
, the shutter will remain open while the camera shutter-
release button is held down.
In delayed remote and quick-response remote modes,
is displayed instead of
; the shutter opens when the shutter-release button
on the optional ML-L3 remote control is pressed (2 s after the button is pressed in de-
layed remote mode) and remains open until the remote-control shutter-release button
is pressed a second time (maximum 30 minutes;
107). Nikon recommends using a
fully-charged EN-EL3 battery or an optional EH-5 AC adapter to prevent loss of power
while the shutter is open.
Note that if the shutter is open for more than approximately
1 s at any setting, “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels may
appear in the final photograph.
Non-CPU Lenses
If a non-CPU lens is attached in mode
M
,
will appear in the aperture displays in
the control panel and viewfinder.
Aperture must be adjusted manually using the lens
aperture ring, and depth-of-field preview is not available.
The camera exposure meter
can not be used, and exposure will not be displayed in the electronic analog exposure
display.
Electronic Analog Exposure Display
The electronic analog exposure display in the viewfinder shows whether the photo-
graph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings.
Depending on the option
chosen for Custom Setting 9 (
EV step
), the amount of under- or over-exposure is
shown in increments of
1
/

EV or ½ EV.
If the limits of the exposure metering system
are exceeded, the display will flash.
