NS-DXFL2N External TTL Flash for Nikon™
www.insigniaproducts.com
Using the Flash Value Lock (FVL)
The FV (flash value) lock locks the correct flash exposure setting into the
flash for any part of the scene you select.
1 Set the flash to i-TTL auto flash mode by pressing the MODE button
repeatedly until the “TTL” indicator lights on the back of the flash, then
focus on the subject.
2 Place the selected subject in the center of the viewfinder, then press
the FV button on the camera. The camera flash fires a preflash and the
required flash output for the subject is retained in memory.
Each time you press the FV button, a preflash is fired, a new flash
exposure setting is locked into memory. The FV lock icon is
displayed in the viewfinder.
3 Exit FVL mode by pressing the MODE button on the flash until the FVL
indicator turns off.
Using manual flash (M)
The flash output is adjustable from full brightness to 1/64th brightness in
1/3rd step increments. Use a hand-held flash meter to determine the
required flash output to obtain a correct flash exposure when using
manual flash.
1 Press the MODE button repeatedly until the M indicator lights on the
back of the flash.
2 Press the + button to set the brightness. The levels are increased, in
order, from 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/1. Press the – button to
decrease the brightness. The –1 indicator on the back of the flash
corresponds to the 1/64 power and the +1 corresponds to the 1/1
power level.
Notes
• If the TTL mode is not selected, the FV lock cannot be set.
• If the subject is too small, the FV lock might not be very
effective.
• If the subject is too far away and underexposure is
possible, the blinks in the camera’s viewfinder. Move
closer to the subject and try the FV lock again.
•The FV button is on the camera. The position of the
button may vary, based on the camera model you are
using. Refer to your camera instruction manual.
