Ready-Light
A built-in
LED
ready-light
is
provided
in
the upper right-hand
portion of the viewfinder outside the picture area.
When
a Nikon
dedicated flash unit (or a
TTL
sensor cord)
is
attached to the
accessory shoe
® , the ready-light comes
on
as
soon
as
the
flash
is
recycled, indicating that the unit
is
ready to fire.
So
,
yo
u
never have to remove your
eye
from the viewfinder. Moreover,
in
the TTL mode, whenever the flash unit fires
at
its maximum
output, the ready-light starts blinking for approx. two seconds,
warning you that the light was probably insufficient for correct
exposure.
As
an
additional warning,
it
blinks if the flash
is
not
connected properly or if the ASAIISO
se
tting
on
the camera is
outside the dedicated flash unit's range of ASNISO 25"'400.
For
more detailed information, refer to the flash unit's instruc-
tion manual.
