If the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally

If the wide-flash adapter is subjected to a strong impact while set on the flash head, it may be broken off. In this case, visit your nearest authorized Nikon service center for repair.

When the wide-flash adapter is broken off, it is no longer possible to set the zoom-head position to other than 14mm or 17mm. To adjust the zoom-head position automatically using the power zoom function, go to the Custom settings “Power zoom function using the built-in wide-flash adapter/Nikon Diffusion Dome” (p. 67).
