23: Flash Warning (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

If On (the default setting) is selected and lighting is poor, the ﬂ ash-
ready light ( ) will ﬂ icker in the viewﬁ nder when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway to warn that the built-in ﬂ ash is required. No
warning will be displayed if Oﬀ is selected.

24: Flash Shutter Speed (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

Choose the slowest shutter speed at which the ﬂ ash will be used in
modes P and A (the default setting is 1/60 s). Regardless of the setting
chosen, the ﬂ ash will ﬁ re at shutter speeds as slow as 30 s when set to
slow sync ( 41).

25: Auto FP (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

Select On to activate Auto FP High-Speed Sync when using the op-
tional SB-800, SB-600, or SB-R200 ﬂ ash units at shutter speeds faster
than / s (because the actual shutter speed may be slightly slower
than displayed in P and A modes, Auto FP may not always be activated
at a shutter speed of / s). Choose to enable ﬁ ll ﬂ ash when taking
portraits under bright light or when taking photographs at Large aper-
tures. Auto FP High-Speed Sync is not available when using the built-in
ﬂ ash. The default setting is Oﬀ .

26: Modeling Flash (P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

If On is selected, the built-in ﬂ ash and optional SB-800, SB-600, and SB-
R200 ﬂ ash units will emit a modeling ﬂ ash when the camera depth-of-
ﬁ eld preview button is pressed ( 49). The default setting is Oﬀ .

27: Monitor-Oﬀ (All Modes)

Choose how long the monitor remains on when no operations are per-
formed (the default setting is 20 s). Choose a shorter monitor-oﬀ delay
for longer battery life. Regardless of the setting chosen, the monitor
remains on for four seconds during image review ( 88) and for ten
minutes when the camera is powered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter.
