The Flash-Ready Indicator

If the ﬂash-ready indicator ( ) blinks in the viewﬁnder, the ﬂash can be used for ad- ditional lighting. The ﬂash-ready indicator will not be displayed if Off is selected for Custom Setting 20 (Flash sign).

Long Time-Exposures

At a shutter speed of , the shutter will remain open while the camera shutter- release button is held down. In delayed remote and quick-response remote modes, is displayed instead of; the shutter opens when the shutter-release button on the optional ML-L3 remote control is pressed (2 s after the button is pressed in de- layed remote mode) and remains open until the remote-control shutter-release button is pressed a second time (maximum 30 minutes; 107). Nikon recommends using a fully-charged EN-EL3a battery or an optional EH-5 AC adapter to prevent loss of power while the shutter is open. Note that if the shutter is open for more than approximately 1 s at any setting, “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels may appear in the ﬁnal photograph.

Non-CPU Lenses

If a non-CPU lens is attached in mode M, will appear in the aperture displays in the control panel and viewﬁnder. Aperture must be adjusted manually using the lens aperture ring, and depth-of-ﬁeld preview is not available. The camera exposure meter can not be used, and exposure will not be displayed in the electronic analog exposure display.

Electronic Analog Exposure Display

The electronic analog exposure display in the viewﬁnder shows whether the photo- graph would be under- or over-exposed at current settings. Depending on the option chosen for Custom Setting 9 (EV step), the amount of under- or over-exposure is shown in increments of 1/3 EV or ½ EV. If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, the display will ﬂash.
