Exposure Compensation Dial for
Interchangeable Focusing Screens
Because the light metering system is incorporated in the finder,
it may be necessary to compensate the measured value when
using a focusing screen other than the standard interchange-
able Advanced Type В BriteView screen provided. Compensa-
tion is within the range from —2 to +0.5 EV in 0.5 EV steps.
To adjust, remove the finder from the camera body and rotate
the screw-like dial with the screwdriver provided, while referring
to the compensation value scale window and the instruction
manual for the screen concerned.
Accessory Shoe
Located at the top of the Multi-Meter Finder DP-20, the ISO-
type hot shoe allows direct mounting of a wide range of Nikon
dedicated electronic speedlights, including SB-24, SB-23,
SB-22, SB-20, SB-18, SB-16B and SB-15. Other Nikon speed-
lights may be mounted with a compatible Nikon flash unit
coupler. Four electrical contacts in the shoe provide the follow-
ing when used with a compatible Nikon speedlight: proper
synchronization of the flash unit, automatic flash output stop,
identification of a TTL flash unit, and both viewfinder ready-light
indication and automatic switching to the proper sync speeds
with Nikon dedicated speedlight units.
