AAF-Assist Illumination

The AF-assist illuminator has a range of about 0.5–3.0 m (1 ft 8 in.–9 ft 10 in.); when using the illuminator, use a lens with a focal length of 18– 200 mm. Some lenses may block the illuminator at certain focus distances. Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator. More information on lenses that can be used with the AF-assist illuminator may be found in the camera Menu Guide, which is available for download from the following website: http://nikonimglib.com/manual/

AThe Built-in Flash

The built-in flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m (2 ft) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. It can be used with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 16–300 mm, although in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal lengths due to shadows cast by the lens. The following illustrations show the effect of vignetting caused by shadows cast by the lens when the flash is used.

ShadowVignetting
