An optional Speedlight, i.e. SB-80DX, SB-50DX, SB-30, SB-29s/29, SB-28/28DX,
SB-27, SB-23 or SB-22s can be attached directly to the accessory shoe of the
F80/F80D/F80S without a cord. This accessory shoe is equipped with a
safetylock which prevents accidental drop when a Speedlight with a safety-
lock pin (i.e. SB-80DX, SB-30, SB-28/28DX, SB-27, SB-26, SB-25 or SB-22s)
is attached.
Ready-light
When using the built-in Speedlight or an optional Speedlight such as the SB-80DX,
SB-50DX, SB-30, SB-29s/29, SB-28/28DX, SB-27, SB-23 or SB-22s, the
ready-light appears in the viewfinder when the Speedlight is fully charged and
ready to fire.
If the ready-light blinks approx. 3 sec. after full flash output, underexposure
may have occurred (when the Speedlight is set to TTL or non-TTL Auto Flash
mode). Check the focus distance, aperture or flash shooting distance range
and shoot again.
Built-in Speedlight
This camera is equipped with a built-in Speedlight that provides an angle of
coverage for a 28mm lens with a guide number of 12 (ISO100, m). TTL Auto
Flash modes such as 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash and Multi-Sensor
Balanced Fill-Flash are available and ensure proper exposure of the main
subject and background, while providing adequate flash output to create
natural-looking flash photography. In addition to shooting in dim light, the flash
can be used in daylight to reduce shadows on the main subject or to put
catchlights in your subject’s eyes. Five flash sync modes—Front-Curtain Sync
(Normal Sync), Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync, Red-Eye Reduction and Red-Eye
Reduction with Slow Sync—are available with this camera.
See below for the TTL Flash modes, page 82 for using the built-in Speedlight
and page 80 for the flash sync modes.
The following TTL Auto Flash modes are available with built-in
Speedlight depending on the type of lens used. See page 86 for the
optional Speedlight.

is selected, TTL Auto Flash mode automatically changes to Standard TTL Flash.
*2 To cancel Monitor Pre-Flash, select Manual exposure mode or Spot metering.
*3 Monitor-Pre Flash is not fired in Standard TTL Flash.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash can be performed with a combination of the
F80/F80D/F80S camera and D- or G-type Nikkor lens. In this flash mode, just
after you press the shutter release button and before the shutter is activated, the
built-in Speedlight will fire a series of imperceptible pre-flashes that are detected
by the F80/F80D/F80S’s five-segment TTL Multi Sensor, then analysed for
brightness and contrast. Furthermore, it integrates Distance Information from the
lens with other exposure control information, automatically compensating the
flash output level so that flash output and ambient light are balanced.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash enables flash photography in very difficult
situations, such as a scene that includes an object with extremely high reflectivity
or a subject against an “infinite” background (empty sky, clouds, etc.).
Set the camera’s exposure mode to any mode other than Manual and
metering system to other than Spot when using built-in Speedlight.
Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, without the Distance Information added to
the 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, can be performed with a combination
of the F80/F80D/F80S camera and CPU Nikkor lens other than D/G-type.
Set the camera’s exposure mode to any mode other than Manual and
metering system to other than Spot when using built-in Speedlight.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash together with Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-
Flash is called Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash with TTL Multi Sensor
Standard TTL Flash
Standard TTL Flash can be performed with non-CPU Nikkor lens. (Can only be
used with exposure mode set to Manual.) With CPU Nikkor lens, Standard TTL
Flash is automatically set when the camera is set to Manual exposure mode or
Spot metering when using built-in Speedlight. In Standard TTL Flash,
automatic flash output level compensation is not available. This means that,
even though the main subject is correctly exposed, the background may not
be. Standard TTL Flash is useful when you want to highlight the main subject
or perform flash exposure compensation.
Monitor Pre-Flash is cancelled in Standard TTL Flash.
