Cause
AF (auto focus) cannot
focus the camera.
The subject is too
bright and is beyond
the camera’s control
range.
The subject is too dark
and is beyond the
camera’s control
range.
The subject is dark
and the flash should
be used.
This icon flashing for
about 3 seconds after
the flash fires indicates
that the full flash
intensity was used and
the image may be
underexposed.
In modes other than A
and M, the mode
selector on a Nikon
flash unit is not set to
¸
.
Solution
Focus the camera in
manual (M) mode.
• In S mode (shutter-
priority auto mode),
select a faster shutter
speed.
• In A mode (aperture-
priority auto mode),
select a higher
aperture number.
• In exposure modes
other than M, use an
ND (light volume
adjustment) filter.
• In S mode (shutter-
priority auto mode),
select a slower
shutter speed.
• In A mode (aperture-
priority auto mode),
select a lower
aperture number.
• In exposure modes
other than M, use the
flash.
Use the built-in flash.
Recheck the distance
to the subject, the
aperture setting and
the flash control range
and then try again.
Set the mode selector
to
¸
or set the
exposure mode to A or
M.
