such as the SB-600 or SB-400, the built-in fl ash can be used very effectively and
is great for snapshots. I highly recommend getting a pop-up fl ash diffuser if you
plan on using it often. You can also use it to control off-camera Speedlights,
which is a great option that isn't included on some of Nikon's lower-end models.
Preview button. By default, this button stops down the aperture to the current

setting (the lens aperture stays wide open until the shutter is released) so that
you can see in real time what the depth of fi eld will look like. It's a customizable
