FV Lock
This feature is used to lock fl ash output, allowing photographs to be re-
composed without changing the fl ash level and ensuring that fl ash output
is appropriate to the subject even when the subject is not positioned in the
center of the frame. Flash output is adjusted automatically for any changes
in sensitivity (ISO equivalency), aperture, and Speedlight zoom head position.
FV lock is available with SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights only.
To use FV lock:
1
Select FV Lock or FV Lock/Lens data for
Custom Setting f4 (FUNC. button; 197).
5
Press the camera FUNC. button. The Speed-
light will emit a monitor prefl ash to determine
the appropriate fl ash level. Flash output will be
locked at this level and FV lock icons (
and ) will appear in the control panel and
viewfi nder.
