Equipment
Indispensable for shooting
in
dim light and at night or for filling
in
the shadows
in
daylight, Nikon Speedlights are dedicated
electronic flash units which complement your Nikon F3AF per-
fectly. Everything about these Speedlights
is
automatic-all
you
have to do
is
set the aperture and the flash output
is
measured
through the lens, ensuring the correct exposure regardless of
the lens
in
use.
