FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

LENSES THAT CAN BE USED WITH THE BUILT-IN FLASH

■ Usable lenses with built-in flash
h 20 mm to 300 mm CPU lenses can be used with the built-in flash.
h To prevent vignetting, remove the lens hood when using the flash.
h The built-in flash cannot be used at shooting distance less than 0.6 m (2.0 ft.).
h Zoom lenses with a macro feature cannot be used in the macro range.
h Vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame resulting in underexposure with the following zoom
lenses, which have limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance:
Lens
AF-S 17-35 mm f/2.8 ED 24 mm focal length at 0.8 m (2.6 ft.) or longer shooting distance
AF 20-35 mm f/2.8 20 mm focal length at 1 m (3.3 ft.) or longer shooting distance
28 mm focal length at 2 m (6.6 ft.) or longer shooting distance or 35 mm focal
AF 28-70 mm f/2.8 ED
length at 0.7 m (2.3 ft.) or longer shooting distance
✽ 20 mm to 200 mm non-CPU Nikkor lenses (AI-S, AI, AI-modified Nikkor) and Series-E lenses can be used with the built-in
Flash. However following lenses have limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance:
Ai'd. 50-300mm f/4.5 (can be used at 200mm), Ai 50-300mm f/4.5 (can be used at 200mm), Ai'd. 85-250mm f/4 (can be
used at 135mm and above), Ai ED 50-300mm f/4.5 (can be used at 135mm and above), Ai-S ED 50-300mm f/4.5 (can be

FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

Flash exposure compensation lets you intentionally change the correct exposure computed by the
flash and the camera. For example, you can highlight the main subject by increasing the flash output
or prevent the main subject from becoming too bright by decreasing the flash output.
