Reference-Flash Photography 4 Press the shutter-release button halfway and check exposure (shutter speed and aperture). The shutter speeds and apertures available when the built-in flash is raised are listed below. Exposure mode P S A M Shutter speed Set automatically by camera s)1 Value selected by user 30 s)2 Set automatically by camera s)1 Value selected by user 30 s)2 Aperture Set automatically 63 by camera 64 Value selected by 66 user 3 68 1 Limit for slow shutter speed is set using Custom Setting e2 (Flash Shutter Speed; 161). Regardless of option selected, camera may set shutter to speeds as slow as 30 s at flash sync settings of slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, and slow sync with red-eye reduction. 2 Speeds faster than s will be reduced to s when built-in flash is raised or optional Speedlight is attached and turned on. 3 Flash range varies with ISO sensitivity and aperture. Consult table of flash of flash ranges ( 200) when setting aperture in A and M modes. 5 Check that the flash-ready indicator appears in the viewfinder. If the flash-ready indicator is not displayed when the built-in flash is used, the shutter release will be disabled. 6 Compose the photograph, making sure that the subject is within range of the flash ( 200), then focus and shoot. If the flash-ready light blinks for about three seconds after the photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full output and the photograph may be underexposed. Check the results in the monitor. If the photograph is underexposed, adjust settings and try again. e1-Flash Sync Speed ( 160) This option can be used to enable Auto FP High-Speed Sync (optional SB-800, SB-600, or SB-R200 Speedlight required; not available if built-in flash is fired) or to limit the fastest sync speed to a speed slower than s. To fix shutter speed at the sync speed limit in exposure modes S and M, select the setting after the slowest possible shutter speed (30 s or ). An X will be displayed in the flash sync indicator in the control panel. 79
