FLASH AND STROBE SETTINGS
The X1D Camera can be used together with the following Nikon Flashes in TTL mode:
General information
When using the A or S setting together with flash, the exposure requirements of the camera will dominate which might produce slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring the use of a tripod. If P is selected instead, a shutter speed of 1/60 or faster is automatically chosen by the camera enabling the camera to be hand held.
When using flash close up or when using larger aperture settings, remember that the flash unit’s output has a specific minimum duration which might still be too great for correct exposure. Read the back’s output specifications for further information regarding any potential restrictions.
Rear sync is a useful feature used either for effect or to produce a more ‘natural’ look when combining long exposures involving light trails and flash.
To change the balance between flash output and camera exposure requirements to produce a variety of effects, use the exposure compensation function. For various long exposure effects use the sync function. To make flash exposure tests use the flash measure function.
Notes and Warnings!
Only Nikon Flash units listed above and specially adapted for use with the X1D or Nikon compatible flashes can be connected to the
Warning!
