Shutter Speed/Aperture in Flash Shooting
The shutter speed/aperture ranges for the various exposures modes in flash shooting are
shown in the table below:

With Slow Sync or Rear-Curtain Sync, the controlled shutter speed range
automatically extends down to 30 seconds.
2
With the shutter speed of 1/250 second or faster, the camera automatically
shifts to 1/180 second when the built-in flash is activated (or an accessory
Nikon Speedlight turned on). The blinking shutter speed indication in the
