C Notes on Speedlights
This camera does not support Auto FP High-Speed Sync, FV lock, red-eye reduction or AF-assist for
multi-area AF when using Speedlights.
The power zoom function can be used with Speedlights SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700 or SB-600
and the zoom head position is automatically set depending on the focal length of the lens.
When using Speedlights SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700 or SB-600, the edges of pictures shot at
ranges less than 2 m (6 ft 7 in.) on the wide-angle zoom position may appear dark. In such cases,
use the wide panel.
When set to STBY (standby), the Speedlight turns on and off at the same time as the camera.
Confirm on the Speedlight that the Ready-light is on.
Advanced Wireless Lighting shooting can be performed by setting SB-910, SB-900, SB-800 or SB-
700 attached to COOLPIX P7700 to master flash, or by setting SU-800 to the Commander mode,
and setting SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600 or SB-R200 to remote flash. (When shooting
with COOLPIX P7700, the remote flash setting is only applicable to Group A.)
Advanced Wireless Lighting shooting can be performed also by using the built-in flash in
Commander mode. (Only applicable to Group A and fixed at 3 CH) (A57, 72, E56).
Refer to the instruction manual of your Speedlight for more information.
B Notes on Using the Remote Flash Unit
Set up the remote flash unit in a position close to the subject from the camera to ensure the light
from the Speedlight to enter the sensor window.
Aside from monitor pre-flashes, the master flash unit emits a minute amount of flashes to control
the remote flash unit. When shooting a subject at a short distance from the master flash unit, these
minute amounts of flashes may cause adverse effects and the proper exposure may not be
achieved. To reduce such adverse effects, use the wide panel for the master flash when the master
flash unit is directly facing a subject that is being shot at a short distance.
