FLASH CONTROL

ADI and pre-flash TTL flash control are available. Flash
control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p.
70). The flash control used depends on the lens and flash
combination.

ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering -
combines distance information from D-series lenses with
information from a pre-flash exposure. ADI metering is less
influenced by subject reflectance.

The camera automatically switches from ADI metering to pre-flash TTL when the
autofocus system is prevented from focusing. When using the Macro Twin Flash 2400 ,
Marco Ring flash 1200 or a wireless or off-camera flash unit, flash control is set to pre-
flash TTL.

When using the Maxxum / Program Flash 2500(D), switch both the flash unit and camera
to ADI metering.

Pre-flash TTL - calculates flash exposure with a pre-flash only. This mode must be used
with close-up filters or filters that reduce the amount of light entering the camera such as
neutral density filters. Pre-flash TTL must be used when a diffuser is attached to the built-
in flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Maxxum / Program flash 3600HS(D), bounce
flash with the Maxxum / Program Flash 2500(D), or an external flash unit.
