Using Accessory Nikon Speedlights

When using a Nikon Speedlight, remove the accessory shoe cover.

The table below shows the available Flash modes for each Nikon Speedlight:

1

In TTL Auto Flash mode, your camera performs automatic balanced Fill-
Flash or Standard TTL flash. For TTL Auto Flash mode, usable ISO is 100 to
400.

2

Set the Exposure mode to Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual.

3

The difference between SB-21A and SB-21B, or between SB-16A and
SB-16B, is the type of controller attached. (For details, see the specific
Speedlight’s manual).

4

Ultraviolet and infrared photography cannot be performed with a DCS 300
Series camera.

Tip

✔ When using Programmed Auto Exposure mode, only TTL Auto Flash mode can be

used. If a Flash mode other than TTL Auto is set, turning the Speedlight On locks
the shutter. In this case FEE and the Exposure mode indicator (P or Ps) blink in the
Camera Status LCD panel, warning that the flash mode should be set to TTL auto.
