lFP High-Speed Flash sync K mode
m High-speed flash synchronization at shutter speeds between 1/250 and
1/4000 sec. (1/500 and 1/16000 sec. for the D1-Series) is possible, allowing
you to use a wider aperture to achieve shallow depth of field and blur the
background.
nDo not use the built-in wide-flash adapter (p. 72) or Nikon Diffusion Dome (p. 69).
When the wide-flash adapter is used, the zoom-head position and K indicator
blink on the LCD panel as a warning.
nWhen you remove the SB-80DX from the camera, be sure to cancel FP flash
operation so that K disappears. If the flash unit is removed with the FP setting, K
blinks as a warning.

Exposure compensation in the Repeating flash mode
m The flash shooting distance calculated in step number 6 is the correct
exposure for the first flash in the sequence. Therefore, repeating flash at this
flash output level will result in overexposure of any overlapping images. To
prevent this, set a smaller aperture on the camera.
