AStudio Flash Systems

Rear-curtain sync can not be used with studio flash systems, as the correct synchronization can not be obtained.

AShutter Speed and Aperture

Shutter speed and aperture can be set as follows when a Speedlight is used:

Mode	Shutter speed	Aperture	See page
e	Set automatically by camera		114
	(1/250 s–1/60s) 1, 2	Set automatically
f	Value selected by user	by camera	116
	(1/250 s–30 s) 2

	(1/250 s–1/60s) 1, 2	Value selected
h	Value selected by user	by user 3	120
	(1/250 s–30 s) 2

1Shutter speed may be set as slow as 30s in slow sync, slow rear-curtain sync, and slow sync with red-eye reduction flash modes.

2Speeds as fast as 1/8,000 s are available with optional SB-900, SB-800, and SB-600 flash units when [1/250 s (Auto FP)] is selected for Custom Setting e1 ([Flash sync speed], pg. 326).
