Taking Photographs-Flash Photography Flash Photography Using Optional Speedlights The D2H supports flash photography when an optional Speedlight is mounted on the camera's accessory shoe. A flash can be used not only when natural lighting is inadequate, but also to fill in shadows, illuminate back-lit subjects, and even to add a catch light to the eyes of a portrait subject. The Creative Lighting System When used with an SB-800 Speedlight (available separately), the D2H supports the full range of options available with the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), including i-TTL flash control, Flash Color Information Communication, Auto FP High-Speed Sync, FV Lock, and AF-assist illumination for multi-area autofocus. When used with multiple SB-800 flash units, the D2H also supports Advanced Wireless Lighting. Advanced Wireless Lighting Multiple SB-800 flash units can be used to eliminate shadows for a natural lighting effect or to light other areas of the frame away from the main subject. Flash modes supported include i-TTL flash control, auto aperture, and manual. The remote Speedlights can be divided into up to three groups (A, B, and C) and each group controlled separately by the master Speedlight mounted on the camera. The master Speedlight can be turned off and only remote Speedlights used, while flash compensation (±3 EV) and flash control (i-TTL, auto aperture, or manual) for the slave units can be controlled remotely. No cables are required. Modeling Illumination SB-800 Speedlights emit a modeling flash when the camera depth-of-field preview button is pressed. This feature can be used with Advanced Wireless Lighting to preview the total lighting effect achieved with multiple flash units. Modeling illumination can be turned off using Custom Setting e4 (Modeling flash; 195). 106
