Notes on Optional Speedlights
Refer to the Speedlight manual for detailed instructions. If the Speedlight
supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System, refer to the section on CLS-
compatible digital SLR cameras. The D3X is not included in the "digital
SLR" category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals.
i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 1600.
At values over 1600, the desired results may not be achieved at some
ranges or aperture settings. If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about
three seconds after a photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full power
and the photograph may be underexposed.
