BISO Auto

When the SB-400, SB-800, or SB-600 is used, the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity to achieve optimal flash output if On is selected for Custom Setting 10 (ISO auto) or Auto is selected for ISO sensitivity in Digital Vari-Program modes. However, foreground subjects may be underexposed (A 111).

When an optional Speedlight is attached, the built-in flash turns off.

Auto flash mode is canceled, and the optional Speedlight will fire whenever a photograph is taken. If the flash mode is set to off, fill flash is automatically applied .

When using an optional Speedlight in hor jmode, flash mode is automatically set to fill flash. Red-eye reduction mode can also be selected.

When flash output is compensated using SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight, or SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander, E(flash compensation indicator for optional Speedlight) will be displayed at the top of Shooting information display.

The optional Speedlight will not fire when the mode dial is rotated to f.

Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
