Northern Industrial Tools P5000 Using Optional Speedlights, DUse Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Using Optional Speedlights

The camera is equipped with an accessory shoe with a safety lock, allowing optional SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800 Speedlights to be mounted directly on the camera without a sync cable. Remove the accessory shoe cover before attaching a Speedlight and replace it when the Speedlight is not in use.

Use optional Speedlights for indirect lighting or when additional lighting is required. The built-in flash turns off automatically and a 5 icon appears in the display. Before using an optional Speedlight, 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. Flash mode can be set as described on page 24. Power zoom can be used with SB-800 and SB- 600 Speedlights, although a wide panel may be needed to illuminate the edges of the picture at ranges under 2m (2ft. 7in.) when the camera is zoomed out. Refer to the Speedlight manual for detailed in instructions.

When set to STBY (stand-by), the optional Speedlight will power on and off at the same time as the camera. 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.

DUse Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250V applied to the acces- sory shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon- authorized service representative for more information.
