WIRELESS/REMOTE CAMERA AND FLASH RANGES

FLASH CONTROL

ADI, pre-flash TTL, and manual flash control are available. Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). The flash control used depends on the lens and flash combination.

ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering - combines distance information from D-series lenses with information from a pre-flash exposure. ADI metering is less influenced by subject reflectance.

Flash-to-subject distance

Camera-to-subject distance

The camera and flash must be within 5m or 16.4 ft of the subject.

The camera automatically switches from ADI metering to pre-flash

TTL when the autofocus system is prevented from focusing. When using the Macro Twin Flash 2400, Marco Ring flash 1200 or a wireless or off-camera flash unit, flash control is set to pre-flash TTL.

When using the Program Flash 2500(D), switch both the flash unit and camera to ADI metering.

Pre-flash TTL - calculates flash exposure with a pre-flash only. This mode must be used with close-up filters or filters that reduce the amount of light entering the camera such as neutral density filters. Pre-flash TTL must be used when a diffuser is attached to the built-in flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Program flash 3600HS(D), bounce flash with the Program Flash 2500(D), or an external flash unit.

1.The camera’s flash sync. speed is 1/125 sec. with Anti-Shake on and 1/160 sec. with Anti-Shake off. Shutter speeds up to this limit can be used.

2.Double the maximum distance when using the camera sensitivity at ISO 400. The maximum distance cannot exceed 5m or 16.4 ft.

Manual flash control - fires the flash at full power, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 power. The power ratio is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). See the following page for more on manual flash and power ratio. Because no pre-flash is used, it can be used to fire slave flash units. Manual flash cannot be used with wireless.
