Optional Flash Units (Speedlights)
The following Speedlights can only be used in non-TTL auto and manual modes at shutter
speeds of
1
/
200
s or slower. Flash charge state is shown by the Speedlight flash-ready
indicator. In TTL mode, the shutter-release button will lock and no photographs can be
taken.
1 In a, b, c, and d modes, lower built-in flash and use optional Speedlight only. To prevent the built-in
flash from popping up automatically when lighting is poor, do not select Digital Vari-Program modes.
2 When mounted on D60, flash mode is automatically set to TTL and shutter release is disabled. Set
Speedlight to A (non-TTL auto) mode.
3 Autofocus is available only with AF-S VR Micro 105mm f/2.8G ED lense.
4 Available when camera is used to select flash mode.

ISO Auto
When the SB-400, SB-800, or SB-600 is used, the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity to
achieve optimal flash output if On is selected for Custom Setting 10 (ISO auto) or Auto is selected
for ISO sensitivity in Digital Vari-Program modes. However, foreground subjects may be
underexposed (A 111).
C
e, g, h, i, j, k, and l Modes
When an optional Speedlight is attached, the built-in flash turns off.
• Auto flash mode is canceled, and the optional Speedlight will fire whenever a photograph is taken.
If the flash mode is set to off, fill flash is automatically applied .
• When using an optional Speedlight in h or j mode, flash mode is automatically set to fill flash.
Red-eye reduction mode can also be selected.
• When flash output is compensated using SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight, or SU-800 Wireless
Speedlight Commander, E (flash compensation indicator for optional Speedlight) will be
displayed at the top of Shooting information display.
• The optional Speedlight will not fire when the mode dial is rotated to f.
B
Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe
could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash.
Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service
representative for more information.
