Nikon F50 instruction manual Flash Photography

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

The thunderbolt symbol (~) inside viewfinder will blink if you need flash to take a picture, for example, in dim light. You can then activate the F50/F50D'Sbuilt-in flash and use it. But remember that you can also use flash in bright light to fill in shadows with extra light. This feature, which works with the F50/F50D'Sbuilt-in flash or any dedicated Nikon Speedlight, is called Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash. It operates in all the Programmed exposure modes, as well as in the Shutter-Priority or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure modes, automatically assuring a correct and well-balanced exposure of both the main subject and the background. In the Manual exposure mode, Centre-Weighted Fill-Flash, which uses Centre-Weighted metering to expose the background, applies.

This section is for both SIMPLE and ADVANCED modes.
