FLASH CONTROL
ADI and pre-flash TTL flash control are available. Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). 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.

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 Maxxum / 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 builtin flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Maxxum / Program flash 3600HS(D), bounce flash with the Maxxum / Program Flash 2500(D), or an external flash unit.
