The chart lists approximate guide numbers for manual flash calculations. The following equations
are useful in determining the guide number, aperture (ƒ-number), or flash-to-subject distance
required for exposures.

INSTANT PLAYBACK
After each image is captured, it is displayed as specified by the menu. Press the shutter-release
button partway down to end the instant playback.
During the instant playback period, the captured images can be deleted using the delete button (p.
36). When a continuous-advance bracketed series is captured, the entire series is erased. Single
non-RAW images can be enlarged with the magnification button. The image is centered on the AF
area used, see page 38 for information on enlarged playback.
After an image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitors for
two, five, or ten seconds before being saved. When using
continuous-advance bracketing, an index display is used. Instant
playback is activated and the length of the playback period is set
with the instant-playback option in section 3 of the recording menu
(p. 64).

This function reduces the affect of dark noise with exposures of one second or longer. Processing is
applied to each image after it is captured. The monitor remains blank during processing for a
maximum of 30 seconds. This can be turned off in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 64). Noise
reduction uses dark-frame subtraction. Noise reduction is not applied to a series of continuous-
advance images
