Flash Photography; Attaching Flash Units - Nikon 1 V1 User Manual

Flash Photography

In still image mode, the optional SB-N5 flash unit can be used for
additional lighting, to "fill in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects, or to add catch lights to your subjects' eyes. In Smart
Photo Selector and Motion Snapshot modes, the flash will not
fire but the capture illuminator will light to illuminate your sub-
ject. The flash does not fire in movie mode or when the Elec-
tronic (Hi) shutter type is selected in still image mode.
