Flash Contacts
The camera is equipped with an accessory shoe for attaching
optional flash units directly to the camera and a sync terminal that
allows flash units to be connected via a sync cable.
When an
optional flash unit is attached, the flash will fire whenever the
shutter is released.
❚❚The Accessory Shoe
Use the accessory shoe to mount optional
flash units directly on the camera without a
sync cable (pg. 187).
The accessory shoe is
equipped with a safety lock for Speedlights
with a locking pin, such as the SB-900, SB-800,
SB-600, and SB-400.
❚❚The Sync Terminal
A sync cable can be connected to the sync
terminal as required.
Do not connect
another flash unit via a sync cable when
performing rear-curtain sync flash
photography with a flash unit mounted on
the camera accessory shoe.
D Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V
applied to the accessory shoe could not only prevent normal operation,
but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon
Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service
representative for more information.
