Flash Photography

In still image mode, the optional SB-N5 flash unit can be used for additional lighting, to “fill in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects, or to add catch lights to your subjects’ eyes. In Smart Photo Selector and Motion Snapshot modes, the flash will not fire but the capture illuminator will light to illuminate your sub- ject. The flash does not fire in movie mode or when the Electronic (Hi) shutter type is selected in still image mode.
