Flash Shooting Distance Range
Flash shooting distance for the built-in Speedlight changes according to
the film speed in use and aperture setting.

• The maximum flash shooting distance can also be calculated by dividing the
guide number by the selected aperture value.
Example: When f/2.8 is selected with ISO 100 film using the camera's built-in
Speedlight, the maximum flash shooting distance will be:
12/2.8 = approx. 4.2m

Usable Lenses with Built-In Speedlight
28mm to 200mm non-zoom CPU Nikkor lenses, AF 300mm f/4 ED and
AF-S 300mm f/4 ED lenses can be used with the built-in Speedlight.
AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 ED, AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ED, AF 20-35mm f/2.8
zoom lenses cannot be used with the built-in Speedlight. Other zoom
lenses can be used; however, refer to the table below for the zoom lenses
with some limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance.
NOTE: Using built-in Speedlight
• Make sure to remove the lens hood.
• The built-in Speedlight cannot be used with zoom lenses set to Macro in
wideangle.
• At short shooting distances, we recommend using an optional Speedlight to
reduce vignetting.
• With color print film, vignetting is reduced since the edges of the frame are
cropped out in film processing.
