Power zoom can be used with SB-900, SB-800, and SB-600 flash units (available separately)

Lens focal length is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback photo info display

When the maximum aperture of the lens is known:

The aperture value is displayed in the top control panel and viewfinder

Flash level is adjusted for changes in aperture

Aperture is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback photo info display

Specifying both the focal length and maximum aperture of the lens:

Enables color matrix metering (note that it may be necessary to use center-weighted or spot metering to achieve accurate results with some lenses, including Reflex-NIKKOR lenses)
