3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash can be performed with a combination of
the F80/F80D/F80S camera and D-type Nikkor lens. In this flash mode, just
after you press the shutter release button and before the shutter is activated,
the built-in Speedlight will fire a series of imperceptible pre-flashes that are
detected by the F80/F80D/F80S's five-segment TTL Multi Sensor, then
analysed for brightness and contrast. Furthermore, it integrates Distance
Information from the lens with other exposure control information, automatically
compensating the flash output level so that flash output and ambient light are
balanced.

Accessory Shoe/Ready-Light

Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, without the Distance Information added to
the 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, can be performed with a combination
of the F80/F80D/F80S camera and CPU Nikkor lens other than D-type.
• Set the camera's exposure mode to any mode other than Manual and
metering system to other than Spot.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash together with Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash is called Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash with TTL
Multi-Sensor
Standard TTL Flash
Standard TTL Flash can be performed with non-CPU Nikkor lens. (Can only be
used with exposure mode set to Manual) With CPU Nikkor lens, Standard TTL
Flash is automatically set when the camera is set to Manual exposure mode or
Spot metering. In Standard TTL Flash, automatic flash output level
compensation is not available. This means that. even though the main subject
is correctly exposed, the background may not be. Standard TTL Flash is useful
when you want to highlight the main subject or perform flash exposure
compensation.
• Monitor Pre-Flash is cancelled in Standard TTL Flash.
• Accessory shoe
•An optional Speedlight, i.e. SB-28/28DX, SB-27, SB-26, SB-25, SB-24, SB-23
or SB-22s can be attached directly to the accessory shoe of the F80/F80D/
F80S without a cord. This accessory shoe is equipped with a safety-lock which
prevents accidental drop when a Speedlight with a safety-lock pin (i.e. SB-28/
28DX, SB-27, SB-26, SB-25 or SB-22s) is attached.

" Only with built-in Speedlight or optional Speedlight SB-28/28DX, SB-27,
SB-26 or SB-25.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash enables flash photography in very difficult
situations, such as a scene that includes an object with extremely high reflectivity
or a subject against an "infinite" background (empty sky, clouds, etc.).
• Set the camera's exposure mode to any mode other than Manual and
metering system to other than Spot.
