Basic Flash Photography with the Nikonos RS

Flash photography with matrix balanced fill-flash operation in combination with the Nikonos RS and the SB-104 will be explained in this section. Set exposure mode to Aperture-Priority Auto Exposure (A). In matrix balanced fill-flash opera- tion, the camera automatically balances the flash brightness in both the back- ground and the main subject.

Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash (Nikonos RS only)

Flash output falling on the foreground subject is balanced with the ambient light background exposure automatically, producing more natural photographs. The Matrix Meter reads five segments, analyzing brightness and contrast, then determines the correct exposure. Set your preferred aperture, the camera will

Iautomatically adjust shutter speed. The SB-104 is automatically told how much light to provide for a precise balance with the predetermined background exposure. As you change apertures for different depths of field the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and flash output to provide consistent exposures.
