Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not included in the list on these pages, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.

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.
