FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Generally performed at night or in dim light, flash photography also removes shadows in pictures shot in bright sunlight, result- ing in a more natural, pleasing effect.

When existing light is insufficient for normal shooting or when shooting a dark subject against a bright background (i.e., sub- ject positioned against a bright window), the ready-light indica- tor LED inside the viewfinder blinks to indicate you should use the built-in TIL flash or an accessory Nikon Speedlight.

AUTOMATIC BALANCED FILL-FLASH

With either the Nikon NSOOS'sbuilt-in TIL flash or Nikon dedicated Speedlight set at TIL you can perform automatic balanced fill-flash.

With automatic balanced fill-flash, both the main subject and the background are correctly exposed.

There are two types of automatic balanced fill-flash - Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash with Matrix Metering and Center-Weighted Fill-Flash with Center-Weighted Metering.
