DUsing FV Lock with the Built-in Flash

FV lock is only available with the built-in flash when [TTL] (the default option) is selected for Custom Setting e3 ([Flash cntrl for built-in flash], pg. 291).

AUsing FV Lock with Optional Flash Units

FV lock is also available with SB-900, SB-800, SB-600, SB-400, and SB-R200 flash units (available separately).
