Ready-Light

A built-in LED ready-light is provided in the upper right-hand portion of the viewfinder outside the picture area. When a Nikon dedicated flash unit (or a TTL sensor cord) is attached to the accessory shoe ® , the ready-light comes on as soon as the flash is recycled, indicating that the unit is ready to fire . So, you never have to remove your eye from the viewfinder. Moreover, in the TTL mode, whenever the flash unit fires at its maximum output, the ready-light starts blinking for approx. two seconds, warning you that the light was probably insufficient for correct exposure . As an additional warning, it blinks if the flash is not connected properly or if the ASAIISO setting on the camera is
