Northern Industrial Tools P5000 Flash Exp. Comp, Flash Control, Fixed Aperture, Noise Reduction

tFlash Exp. Comp.

Flash compensation is used to alter flash output by ±2.0EV in increments of 1/3 EV, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. Flash compensation is available with the built-in flash and with optional SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800 flash units (B 93).

oFlash Control

Choose Auto (the default option) to use the built-in flash when no optional flash unit is mounted on the camera accessory shoe (B 93), or choose Built-in off to disable the built-in flash altogether.

dFixed Aperture

Choose whether aperture varies with zoom position.

Option	Description
	In A and M modes, aperture is kept as close as possible to selected f-
@ On	number. To prevent selected f-number from exceeding exposure range
	at new zoom position, set aperture to around f/5.1–f/7.3.
@ Off (default)	Aperture varies with zoom position.

hNoise Reduction

At slow shutter speeds, pictures may be affected by “noise” in the form of ran- domly-spaced, brightly-colored dots concentrated in dark parts of the image. Use this option to reduce noise at slow shutter speeds.

Option	Description
@ On	Noise reduction takes effect at slow shutter speeds, increasing time
	needed to record pictures after shooting.
@ Off (default)	No noise reduction performed.

When noise reduction is on, a h icon is displayed in the monitor.
