FLASH

This section of your manual covers the operation of accessory
flashes as well as the built-in flash.
The high accuracy of your camera's flash metering is realized by
ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering in combination
with the newly developed D flash units and D lenses. Flash meter-
ing is controlled by the guide number in addition to pre-flash meter-
ing. Compared with the conventional TTL flash metering, flash out-
put is less influenced by the background conditions or the subject's
reflectance in ADI flash metering, offering optimum flash metering.
Your camera's built-in flash provides coverage for a 24mm angle of
view, with a flash guide number of 12.
