Flash Mode — i-TTL Autoflash
This flash has three flash modes: i-TTL, Manual (M), and RPT
(Stroboscopic). In i-TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work
together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the
background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available:
FEC, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash, etc.
* Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button and three flash modes
will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.

flash that the camera will use to calculate exposure and flash
output the instant before the photo is taken.
FEC: Flash Exposure Compensation

needed based on the environment.

High-Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all
camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use
aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.

Second-Curtain Sync
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the
subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.

1/320s (Auto FP) or 1/250s
(Auto FP) in the Nikon camera

dial can set the shutter speed to
1/250s or faster.

works properly, look through the
shutter speed in the viewfinder.
If it shows a speed of 1/250s or
faster, the FP flash function is
on work.
