Nikon S2H05000501 manual Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories, Close-Ups, When Lighting Is Poor

Set the flash mode for the optional Speedlight to TTL. At this setting, the optional Speedlight will be controlled by the camera in response to camera flash mode and Speedlight Opt. settings. Refer to flash-bracket and Speed- light manuals for detailed instructions. Even if Internal Off is selected in the Speedlight Cntrl menu, the built-in Speedlight will pop up automatically when an optional Speedlight is used to allow control of flash output by the camera photocell. When the built-in Speedlight is raised, do not block the photocell with your fingers or other objects.

Before using an optional Speedlight, set the zoom head to an angle wider than 28 mm. At smaller angles, the flash may not be able to light the entire subject. We recommend that you take a test shot and view the results in the monitor; if the results are not satisfactory, try zooming the camera in or ad- justing the illuminating angle.

The COOLPIX4500 does not support power zoom or AF-assist illumination.

Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the camera’s sync terminal could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speed- light not included in the list on the previous page, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.

Close-Ups

The built-in Speedlight may be unable to light the entire subject at distances under 50 cm (1´8˝). Take a test picture and verify the results in the monitor.

When Lighting Is Poor

When lighting is poor and the flash is off () or set to slow sync ( ), shutter speed slows and photos may be affected by “noise” in the form of randomly- spaced, brightly-colored pixels. At shutter speeds below 1/4 s, noise can be reduced using the Noise Reduction option (118) in the shooting menu (P, S, A, and M modes only).

At shutter speeds slower than 1/30 s, a(camera shake) icon will appear in the monitor. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by inadvertent camera movement.
