❚❚Flash Control at 1/320 s (Auto FP)

When 1/320 s (Auto FP) is selected for Custom Setting e1 (Flash sync speed, 0 222), the built-in flash can be used at shutter speeds as fast as 1/320 s, while optional SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-R200 flash units can be used at any shutter speed (Auto FP High-Speed Sync).

DThe Flash-Ready Indicator

When the flash fires at full power, the flash-indicator in the camera viewfinder will blink to warn that the resulting photograph may be underexposed. Note that the flash-ready indicators on optional flash units will not display this warning when 1/320 s (Auto FP) is selected.
