*1 Shutter speed is prolonged up to 30 sec. with Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync and Red-Eye
Reduction with Slow Sync.
*2 Shutter speed shifts automatically to 1/125 sec. when the shutter speed is set to faster than
1/125 sec. and the flash is fired (or attached optional Speedlight is turned on). In this case,
125 appears in the viewfinder and the selected shutter speed display blinks in the LCD panel.
*3 Flash shooting distance range depends on the ISO film speed of the film in use and
aperture selected. In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode, set the aperture
according to the flash shooting distance range table on page 83.

Confirm fi appears in the viewfinder, make sure the
subject is within the flash shooting distance range
and shoot.
• The shutter cannot be released unless fi appears without blinking in the
viewfinder.
• fi in the viewfinder blinks approx. 3 sec. after full flash output. This may
indicate underexposure has occurred. Check the focus distance, aperture
or flash shooting distance range and shoot again.
• When the conditions for AF-Assist Illumination are met (page 43), the AF-
Assist Illuminator automatically turns on to guide autofocus.
• In Auto-Multi Progam exposure mode, the camera automatically controls
maximum available aperture according to the film speed. See page 87.
• Continuous shooting (˜) cannot be used in flash shooting.
• With VR Nikkor lenses, the vibration reduction function when shutter release
button is lightly pressed does not operate while the built-in Speedlight is
charging.
• Flash shooting distance range for built-in Speedlight
Flash shooting distance changes according to the film speed in use and
aperture setting.

• The maximum flash shooting distance can also be calculated by dividing the
guide number by the aperture value selected.
Example: When f/2.8 is selected with ISO 100 film using the camera’s built-in
Speedlight, the maximum flash shooting distance will be;
12
= approx. 4.2m

• Speedlight starts to charge when it is released and fi appears in the
viewfinder when Speedlight is fully charged.
• Press the Speedlight down gently until it clicks into place to retract it. (To
conserve power, keep the Speedlight retracted when it is not in use.)
