Built-in
Speedlight
and
Matrix
Balanced
Fill-Flash
• The built-in Speedlight offers
an
angle of coverage of 28mm lens with a guide
number
of
12/
40
(ISO
100, m/
ft
.
).
When a wide-angle lens of less than 28mm focal
length is used
in
flash photography using the built-in Speed light, the flash may not
reach the peripheral area and may result
in
a dark picture .
• Using CPU Nikkor lenses such as a G-
or
O-type Nikkor lens enables use of
Matrix
Balanced Fill-Flash. Analyzing the brightness and contrast level derived from
Matrix Metering, the
Matrix
Balanced Fill-Flash ensures proper exposure of the
main subject and background, while providing adequate flash output
to
create
natural-looking flash photography. See page 76 for details.
