Usable Lenses with Built-In Speedlight

•Usable lenses with built-in Speedlight

•28mm to 300mm CPU lenses can be used with the built-in Speedlight.

•Make sure to remove the lens hood.

•The built-in Speedlight cannot be used at shooting distance less than 0.6m. At shorter shooting distances, we recommend using an optional Speedlight to reduce vignetting.

•Vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame resulting in underexposure with the following zoom lenses, which have limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance (With colour print film, vignetting is reduced since the edges of the frame are cropped out in film processing.):

Lens	Limitations
AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 ED	35mm focal length at 1.5m or longer shooting distance.
AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 IF-ED	28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 1m or longer shooting distance
AF 20-35mm f/2.8	28mm focal length at 2m or longer shooting distance or 35mm focal length at
	0.7m or longer shooting distance
AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4	28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 1m or longer shooting distance
AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED	28mm or longer focal length
AF 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6	28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 0.8m or longer shooting distance
AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 ED	50mm or longer focal length; and at 50mm, at 0.8m or longer shooting distance
AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5	28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 2m or longer shooting distance
AF 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6G	28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 1m or longer shooting distance
AF 35-70mm f/2.8	35mm or longer focal length; and at 35mm, at 0.8m or longer shooting distance.
AF Micro 70-180mm	70mm or longer focal length; and at 70mm, at 0.7m or longer shooting distance
f/4.5-5.6 ED

*28mm to 200mm non-CPU Nikkor lenses (AI-S, AI, AI-modified Nikkor) and Series-E lenses except 200mm f/2 lens can be used with the built-in Speedlight. However following lenses have limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance:

•AI-S/AI 25-50mm f/4 (40mm or longer focal length; and at 40mm, at 0.8m or longer shooting distance)

•AI-S 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 (35mm or longer focal length)

•AI 35-70mm f/3.5 (35mm or longer focal length; and at 35mm, at 1m or longer shooting distance)

•AI 28-45mm f/4.5 (28mm or longer focal length; and at 28mm, at 1m or longer shooting distance)

•AI-modified 50-300mm f/4.5 (200mm or longer focal length)

•AI-S/AI 50-300mm f/4.5 (135mm or longer focal length)

•AI-S 80-200mm f/2.8 (105mm or longer focal length)

•AI-modified 85-250mm f/4 (135mm or longer focal length)

Flash Exposure Compensationtion

•Flash exposure compensation lets you intentionally change the correct exposure computed by the Speedlight and the camera. For example, you can highlight the main subject by increasing the flash output or prevent the main subject from becoming too bright by decreasing the flash output.

1Set flash exposure compensation by rotating the Main-Command Dial while pressing the ˚ button until the desired compensation value appears (–3 EV

to +1 EV in 1/2 steps).

–0.5 EV compensation

		+1 EV compensation
	• When the flash exposure compensation is set, ~ appears in the LCD
	panel and viewfinder. The compensation value can be checked by pressing
	the ˚ button.
	• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the
	background is brighter than your main subject, or to the – side when the
	background is darker.

	Release the built-in Speedlight by pressing the flash
	lock-release button, and set the flash sync mode and
	exposure mode.
3	Compose picture, focus and confirm fi appears in
	viewfinder. Then make sure the subject is within the
	flash shooting distance range and shoot.

	while pressing the ˚ button to reset the compensation value to 0.0.

Alternately, you can perform Two-Button Reset (page 76). (Turning the power switch off does not cancel the flash exposure compensation
