Flash Shooting Distance Range
Usable Lenses with Built-In Speedlight
Flash shooting distance for the built-in Speedlight changes according to
the film speed in use and aperture setting.
•The maximum flash shooting distance can also be calculated by dividing the
guide number by the selected aperture value.
Example: When f/2.8 is selected with ISO 100 film using the camera’s built-in
Speedlight, the maximum flash shooting distance will be:
12/2.8 = approx. 4.2m
ISO film speed 25 50 100 200 400 800 Flash shooting

28mm to 200mm non-zoom CPU Nikkor lenses, AF 300mm f/4 ED and
AF-S 300mm f/4 ED lenses can be used with the built-in Speedlight.
AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 ED, AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ED, AF 20-35mm f/2.8
zoom lenses cannot be used with the built-in Speedlight. Other zoom
lenses can be used; however, refer to the table below for the zoom lenses
with some limitations in usable focal length or shooting distance.
NOTE: Using built-in Speedlight
•Make sure to remove the lens hood.
•The built-in Speedlight cannot be used with zoom lenses set to Macro in
wideangle.
•At short shooting distances, we recommend using an optional Speedlight to
reduce vignetting.
•With color print film, vignetting is reduced since the edges of the frame are
cropped out in film processing.
