Taking Photographs—Flash Photography

The D70S is equipped with a Guide Number 15/49 Speedlight (ISO 200,
m/ft; Guide Number at ISO 100 is 11/36). When a CPU lens is attached, the
built-in Speedlight emits monitor prefl ashes that are analyzed using through-
the-lens (TTL) technology (i-TTL fl ash control). The built-in Speedlight can be
used not only when natural lighting is inadequate, but also to fi ll in shadows
and backlit subjects or to add a catch light to the subject’s eyes.

i-TTL Flash Control

The following types of fl ash control are available with CPU lenses:

modes except mode

or when spot metering is selected in modes

P

,

S

, and

A

. Speedlight emits series of nearly invisible prefl ashes

(monitor prefl ashes) immediately before main fl ash. Prefl ashes
refl ected from objects in all areas of frame are picked up by 1,005-
pixel RGB sensor and are analyzed in combination with information
from matrix metering system to adjust fl ash output for natural
balance between main subject and ambient background lighting.
If type G or D lens is used, distance information is included when
calculating fl ash output.
