FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The thunderbolt symbol
(~)
inside viewfinder will blink if you need
flash
to
take
a picture,
for
example, in dim light. You can then
activate the F50/F50D'S built-in flash and use it. But remember that
you can also use flash
in
bright light to fill
in
shadows with extra light.
This feature, which works with the F50/F50D'S built-in flash or any
dedicated Nikon Speed light,
is
called Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash. It
operates
in
all
the Programmed exposure modes, as well as
in
the
Shutter-Priority
or
Aperture-Priority
Auto
exposure
modes,
automatically assuring a correct and well-balanced exposure of both
the main subject and the background.
In
the Manual exposure mode,
Centre-Weighted Fill-Flash, which uses Centre-Weighted metering to
expose the background, applies.
This section
is
for both SIMPLE and ADVANCED modes.
