1 = 3D Matrix Metering is selected with D-type AF Nikkor and Matrix Metering is selected with non-D-type lenses.

2 = With maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.

3 = Aperture cannot be selected.

Built-in Speedlight and Nikkor lens compatibility Compatible Nikkor lenses Lenses with focal length 28mm to 300mm (except AF Zoom-Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8D IF, Zoom-Nikkor 180-600mm f/8 ED, Nikkor 200mm f/2 ED-IF and Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF).

Important! - Built-in Speedlight cannot be used with zoom lenses set at shorter than 28mm focal length - Or with zoom lenses used for macro photography - Do not use a lens hood; it could cause slight vignetting

4 = Set preset ring, then use AE-lock lever before shifting.

5 = Set preset ring, then determine exposure before shifting.

6 = Set shutter speed to 1/125 sec. or slower.

Because the Speedlight is relatively close to the lens, when a larger lens is used, or when a zoom lens is extended, the top of the lens may obstruct the Speedlight. Built-in Speedlight cannot be used with the following lenses in the conditions indicated.

AF 24-50mm f/3.3-4.5D: at a focal length shorter than 35mm; AF 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6D IF: if subject is within 2.6 ft. at a 35mm focal length, within 2 ft. at a 50mm focal length; AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5: at a focal length shorter than 35mm; AF 35-70mm f/2.8D: if subject is within 3.3 ft. at a 35mm focal length; AF 28mm f/1.4D: if subject is within 2.3 ft.; AF 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF: if subject is within 10.5 ft.; 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5: at a focal length shorter than 35mm; 50-300mm f/4.5 ED: at a focal length shorter than 135mm.
