Setting procedure:
• Press the button until „Mode“ flashes on the
LC display.
• Set the flash mode using the and
arrows. The flash mode you choose is then highligh-
ted.
The setting takes effect immediately.
• Press the button to change the display back to
the normal view. If the button is not pressed, the
display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.
If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-
tion

will flash „OK“ for about 3 seconds (see 13).
To test the TTL function with analog cameras, a roll of film has to be in the
camera. Please note whether there are limitations for your camera in
terms of film sensitivity or ISO (i.e., maximum ISO 1000) for TTL flash
operation (see your camera’s operating instructions).
5.3 TTL fill-in flash mode
Fill-in flash BL overcomes troublesome dense shadows for daylight shots
and produces a more balanced exposure between subject and background with
contre-jour shots. The camera’s computer-controlled metering system sets the
most suitable combination of shutter speed, aperture and flash output. When
using a camera from Groups C, D and E (see table 1) with a D-AF Nikkor lens,
the distance to the subject is also calculated into the optimal flash performance.

Setting procedure:
• Press the button until „Mode“ flashes on the
LC display.
• Set the BL flash mode using the and
arrows. The flash mode you choose is then highligh-

• Press the button to change the display back to

display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.
If the shot was properly lit, the correct exposure indica-

will flash „OK“ for about 3 seconds (see 13).
Ensure that the contre-jour light source does not shine directly into the
lens, as this will interfere with the camera’s TTL metering system.
Depending on the camera model, the suitable fill-in flash mode will be automa-
tically activated after BL flash mode has been set:
Group A:
• Automatic fill-in flash mode or matrix-controlled fill-in flash mode
• Either set automatically or manually on the camera (see camera’s operating
instructions)
• Display on flash unit:
• No extra settings are necessary on the flash unit, nor is there any display for
this mode.
