Taking Photographs-Flash Photography Flash Photography Using Optional Speedlights The D2X 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. When used with an SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight (available separately; 245), the D2X supports the full range of options available with the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), including Advanced Wireless Lighting, i-TTL flash control ( 107), FV Lock ( 114), Flash Color Information Communication ( 54), and Auto FP High-Speed Sync. See the Speedlight manual for details. Modeling Illumination SB-800 and SB-600 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; 199). 106
