When Lighting Is Poor: Using the Flash
More on Photography
Sensitivity ( ISO Equivalency)
"Sensitivity" is a measure of how quickly the camera responds to light.
Your Nikon digital camera normally has a sensitivity roughly equivalent to
film with an ISO 50 rating. When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($),
the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster expo-
sures and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement (cam-
era shake). An ISO icon will appear in the monitor to warn that the picture
may be slightly mottled.
The 2 (Camera Shake) Icon
When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($), shutter speeds will slow
and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter speed required for exposure is
very slow, a 2 (camera shake) warning will appear in the monitor. Use of
a tripod or support is recommended.
Flash Range
Refer to "Specifications" (Q 107).
Close-Ups
The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm (1´4”). When
taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.
Flash Mode Selection
In P (auto) mode, the camera "remembers" the current flash mode setting even when the cam-
era is turned off. The most recent setting will automatically be restored whenever the mode dial is
set to P unless the Reset all option in the setup menu is used to restore the default setting (Q
94). Depending on the mode selected, the flash mode may change automatically when you
choose a new shooting mode (Q 28-39).
The AF-Assist Illuminator (E4100/E3200 only)
The E4100 and E3200 are equipped with an AF-assist illuminator. If lighting is poor, the built-in
AF-assist illuminator will light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing the
camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. When the camera is zoomed all the way out,
the AF-assist illuminator has a range of 0.4 – 2.0m (1’4” – 6’7”). The range at maximum zoom
is 0.4 – 1.4m (1’4” – 4’6”). In scene mode (Q 28-39), the AF-assist illuminator is only available
in i (Portrait), m (Night Portrait) and B (Party/Indoor) modes without the framing assist op-
tion (Q 29-33), and in C (Beach/Snow), D (Sunset), I (Copy), J (Back light) and K
(Panorama assist) modes.
