When flash exposure compensation is used, appears in the viewfinder display, but the amount of compensation is not displayed.

If the Speedlight is set at a distance from the camera using the SC-17 sync cord, correct exposure may not be achieved at D-TTL settings other than standard D-TTL. We recommend that you use standard D-TTL. When using standard D-TTL, take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.

When using D-TTL flash control, use the flash panel provided with your Speedlight. Do not use another type of flash panel, such as a diffusion panel, as this may introduce error into camera- internal calculations, resulting in inappropriate flash exposure.

When the flash sync mode is set to slow sync or slow sync with red-eye reduction, select programmed auto or aperture-priority auto exposure.

The shutter speeds and apertures that can be used with the SB-80DX, SB-50DX, and SB-28DX are shown below.

*Shutter speeds are set automatically in the range 1/5001/60s, or 1/500–30 s at a flash sync mode setting of slow sync.

**If a shutter speed faster than 1/500 s is chosen, the camera will automatically lower the shutter speed to 1/500 s when the Speedlight is turned on.

TTL can not be used for multi-flash photography.

Use Nikon Speedlights only. Using another make of flash could damage the internal circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not included in the list of compatible Speedlights, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
