Flash Contacts

The D700 is equipped with an accessory shoe for attaching optional flash units directly to the camera and a sync terminal that allows flash units to be connected via a sync cable.

❚❚The Accessory Shoe

Use the accessory shoe to mount optional flash units directly on the camera without a sync cable (pg. 378). The accessory shoe is equipped with a safety lock for Speedlights with a locking pin, such as the SB-900, SB-800, SB-600 and SB-400.

❚❚The Sync Terminal

A sync cable can be connected to the sync terminal as required. Do not connect another flash unit via a sync cable when performing rear-curtain sync flash photography with a flash unit mounted on the camera accessory shoe.

DISO Sensitivity

When auto ISO sensitivity control is on (pg. 108), ISO sensitivity will n automatically be adjusted as required for optimal flash output when an

optional SB-900, SB-800, SB-600, or SB-400 flash unit is attached. This may result in foreground subjects being underexposed in photographs taken with the flash at slow shutter speeds, in daylight, or against a bright background. In these cases, choose a flash mode other than slow sync or choose a larger aperture.
