ADI, pre-flash TTL, and manual flash control are available.
Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu
(p. 64). 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.
Manual flash control - fires the flash at full power, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 power. The
power ratio is selected in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 64). See the following page
for more on manual flash and power ratio. Because no pre-flash is used, it can be used
to fire slave flash units. Manual flash cannot be used with wireless.
