Flash Modes

The camera supports the following flash modes:

Flash mode	Description
	This mode is recommended for most situations. In
	programmed auto and aperture-priority auto modes,
Front-curtain	shutter speed will automatically be set to values
	between 1/250 and 1/60 s (1/8,000 to 1/60 s with Auto FP
sync	High-Speed Sync; 0 311).
	Flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 s to
	capture both subject and background at night or under
	dim light. This mode is only available in programmed
Slow sync	auto and aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of
	tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by
	camera shake.
	In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, flash
	fires just before the shutter closes. Use to create effect of
	a stream of light behind moving objects. In
Rear-curtain	programmed auto and aperture-priority auto, slow rear-
	curtain sync is used to capture both subject and
sync	background. Use of tripod is recommended to prevent
	blurring caused by camera shake.
	In this mode (available only with SB-900, SB-800, SB-600,
	and SB-400), red-eye reduction pre-flash lights for
	approximately one second before main flash. Pupils in
	subject’s eyes contract, reducing “red-eye” effect	l
	sometimes caused by flash. Owing to one-second
Red-eye
	shutter-release delay, this mode is not recommended
reduction	with moving subjects or in other situations in which
	quick shutter response is required. Avoid moving camera
	while red-eye reduction pre-flash is lit.
	Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. Use for
	portraits taken against a backdrop of night scenery.
Red-eye	Available only with SB-900, SB-800, SB-600, and SB-400 in
	programmed auto and aperture-priority auto exposure
reduction with	modes. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent
slow sync	blurring caused by camera shake.
