Shutter Speed and Aperture

The following table lists values that can be chosen for shutter speed and aperture when an optional Speedlight is used:

Exposure mode	Shutter speed	Aperture
Programmed auto	Set automatically by camera*	Set automatically	86
Shutter-priority auto	½50 s–30 s†	by camera	88
Aperture-priority auto	Set automatically by camera*	Value selected by	90
Manual	½50 s–30 s†	user‡	92

*Shutter speeds are set automatically in the range ½50 s–1/60s, or ½50 s–30 s at flash sync settings of slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, and red-eye reduction with slow sync. If 1/250 (FP auto) is selected for Custom Setting e1 (Flash sync speed) when an optional SB-800 Speedlight is used, shutter speeds may be as fast as 1/8,000 s.

† If 1/250 (FP auto) is selected for Custom Setting e1 (Flash sync speed) when an optional SB-800 Speedlight is used, shutter speeds may be as fast as 1/8,000 s.

‡Flash range varies with aperture. When setting aperture in aperture-priority auto and manual exposure modes, consult the table of flash ranges provided with optional Speedlight.

ISO Auto

If a Speedlight is used when Custom Setting b1 (ISO auto) is on, sensitivity (ISO equiv- alency) will be fixed at the value selected by the user.

e1—Flash Sync Speed (194)

This option can be used to enable Auto FP High-Speed Sync or limit the fastest sync speed to a speed slower than ½50 s. To fix shutter speed at the sync speed limit in shut- ter-priority auto or manual exposure modes, select next the shutter speed after the

slowest possible shutter speed (30 s or). An X will be displayed in the flash sync indicator in the top control panel.

e2—Flash Shutter Speed (194)

This option can be used to limit the slowest shutter speed possible when using an op- tional Speedlight in programmed auto and aperture-priority auto exposure modes.
