Optional Accessories

Using Optional Speedlights

The camera is equipped with an accessory shoe with a safety lock, allowing Speedlights SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800 (available separately from Nikon) to be mounted directly on the camera without a sync cable. Use Speedlights for indirect lighting or when additional lighting is required. The built-in flash turns off automatically when using Speedlights. While is displayed in the monitor, Speedlights flash mode is also displayed in the monitor, and it can be set with the same procedure as the built-in flash (A30).

•Remove the accessory shoe cover before attaching a

Speedlight. Slide the accessory shoe cover to the direction of an arrow to remove it.

• Refer to the Speedlight manual for more information on how to attach Speedlight and details.

•Replace the accessory shoe cover when the Speedlight is not in use.

DSpeedlights SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800

•Speedlights SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800 are equipped with a safety lock so that it prevents Speedlight from coming off easily.

•When set to STBY (stand-by), the Speedlight will power on and off at the same time as the camera. Confirm the Ready-light is on with Speedlight unit.

•Before using Speedlights SB-600 or SB-800, set the Speedlight flash control mode to TTL for i-TTL flash control, which uses monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash output automatically in response to lighting conditions. Refer to the Speedlight manual for more information on i-TTL flash control.

•The camera does not support Advanced Wireless Lighting, Flash Color Information Communication, Auto FP High-Speed Sync, FV lock, or AF-assist for multi-area AF when using Speedlights SB-600 or SB-800.

•Power zoom can be used with Speedlights SB-600 and SB-800, setting illuminating angle automatically depending upon focal length.

•When using Speedlights SB-600 or SB-800, a wide panel may be needed to illuminate the edges of the picture at ranges under 2 m (6 ft. 7 in.) when the camera is zoomed out.
