Notes About i-TTL Flash
•
The monitor preflashes are fired to measure the reflecting light from a subject in order to
adjust the flash output of the Speedlight.
- Standard i-TTL flash: The flash output is adjusted to achieve proper exposure according
to the brightness of the main subject without consideration of the background light. This
setting is optimal for taking images with emphasis on the main subjects.
•
When shooting using i-TTL flash, set the flash control mode of the Speedlight to i-TTL
before taking pictures.

Notes About Speedlights
•
This camera does not support flash color information communication, Auto FP High-
Speed Sync, FV lock, AF-assist illumination for multi-point AF, or the wireless lighting
function when using Speedlights.
•
When using the power zoom function with the SB-5000 or SB-700, the zoom head
position is automatically set depending on the focal length of the lens.
•
When using a Speedlight, the image periphery may appear dark if the zoom is at the wide-
angle position. In such cases, use the wide panel of the SB-5000 or SB-700.
•
When set to STBY (standby), the Speedlight turns on and off at the same time as the
camera. Confirm on the Speedlight that the flash-ready indicators are on.
•
Refer to the documentation provided with your Speedlight for more information.
