Ready-Light
A built-in LED ready-light is provided in the upper right-hand
portion of the viewfinder outside the picture
area.
When a Nikon
dedicated flash unit (or a TTL
sensor cord)
is attached to the
accessory
shoe
®
, the ready-light comes on as soon as the
flash is recycled, indicating that the unit is ready to
fire
.
So,
you
never have to remove your eye from the viewfinder. Moreover,
in the TTL mode, whenever the flash unit fires at its maximum
output, the ready-light
starts
blinking for approx. two
seconds,
warning you that the light was probably insufficient for correct
exposure
.
As an additional warning, it blinks if the flash is not
connected
properly
or if the
ASAIISO setting
on the camera
is
outside the dedicated flash
unit's
range of ASNISO
25"'400.
For more detailed
information,
refer to the flash
unit's
instruc-
tion
manual
.
