Flash shooting distance range

The distance range over which a flash can effectively provide light. Flash shooting distance range is controlled by the amount of flash output available. Each automatic Speed light's flash output varies from maximum duration to minimum duration . Close-up subjects will require lower (to minimum) output, while more distant subjects will require more light up to the maximum output.

The flash shooting distance range varies with the aperture, film speed, etc.

Flash synchronization

Timing of the flash so it coincides with release of the camera's shutter. There are two types of synchronization: Front-Curtain Sync, which fires the flash at the start of the exposure, and Rear-Curtain Sync, which fires the flash at the end of the exposure.

Flash sync speed

Shutter speed at which the entire film frame is exposed when the flash is fired in flash shooting . The N65/N65QD's flash sync speed is 1/90 sec. or slower.

Flexible Program

Flexible Program function temporarily shifts an automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combination while maintaining correct exposure. That is, the desired shutter speed or aperture can be selected in Auto-Multi Program.

f-number

The f-number represents the aperture value and is calculated from lens'focal length divided by the effective aperture opening. The standard numbers for calibration are 1, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 , 16, 22, 32, etc.

The smallest f-number is called maximum aperture and the largest f-number is called minimum aperture. Lenses with large maximum apertures (smaller f- numbers) are 'fast'lenses that allow photographers to use faster shutter speeds in dim light. Lenses with smaller maximum apertures (larger f-numbers) allow the use of lower shutter speeds for available light but are also lighter and smaller than faster lenses.
