User's Manual

Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows,

creating photographs with natural contrast. Use for high contrast

scenes, for example when photographing brightly lit outdoor

scenery through a door or window or taking pictures of shaded

subjects on a sunny day.

_[I_ Active D-Lighting

When Active D-Lighting is on, additional time will be required to record

images and the capacity of the memory buffer will drop (pg. 424). Use

matrix metering (pg. 112). Noise (grains, banding, mottling) may appear

in photographs taken with Active D-Lighting at high ISO sensitivities.

Active D-Lighting can not be used at ISO sensitivities of Hi 0.3 or above.

The Brightness and Contrast Picture Control settings (pg. 165) can not be

adjusted while active D-Lighting is in effect. In exposure mode !I, an

Active D-Lighting setting of Auto is equivalent to Normal.

[I_ "Active D-Lighting"versus "D-Lighting"

The Active D-Lighting option in the shooting menu adjusts exposure

before shooting to optimize the dynamic range, while the D-Lighting

option in the retouch menu optimizes dynamic range in images after

shooting.

This color space is capable of expressing a wider

AdobeAdobe RGB gamut of colors than sRGB, making it the preferred

choice for images that will be extensively

processed or retouched.

(pg. 15). 181

[] Color Space

Color spaces define the correspondence between colors and the numeric

values that represent them in a digital image file. The sRGB color space is

widely used, while the Adobe RGB color space is typically used in

publishing and commercial printing, sRGB is recommended when taking

photographs that will be printed without modification or viewed in

applications that do not support color management, or when taking

photographs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct printing option

on some household printers, or kiosk printing or other commercial print

services. Adobe RGB photographs can also be printed using these

options, but colors will not be as vivid.

JPEG photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space are Exif 2.21 and

DCF 2.0 compliant; applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and

DCF 2.0 will select the correct color space automatically. If the application

or device does not support Exif 2.21 and DCF 2.0, select the appropriate

color space manually. An ICC color profile is embedded in TIFF

photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space, allowing applications

that support color management to automatically select the correct color

space. For more information, see the documentation provided with the

application or device.

[] Nikon Software

ViewNX (supplied) and Capture NX 2 (available separately) automatically

select the correct color space when opening photographs created with

the D700.

Flash Photography

- Using the Built-in Flash

This chapter describes how to use the built-in flash.

Flash Modes .................................................................... pg. 188

The built-in flash has a Guide Number (GN) 17/56 (m/ft, ISO 200,

20 °C/68 °F) and can cover the field of view of a 24mm lens, or a

16mm lens in DX format. It supports i-TTL balanced fill-flash for

digital SLR,which uses monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash output

for balanced lighting not only when natural lighting is inadequate

but when filling in shadows and backlit subjects or adding a catch

light to the subject's eyes. The following types of i-TTL flash

control are supported:

i-TTLbalancedfill-flashfordigitalSLR:Speedlight emits series of nearly

invisible preflashes (monitor preflashes) immediately before main flash.

Preflashes reflected from objects in all areas of frame are picked up by

1,00S-segment RGB sensor and are analyzed in combination with range

information from matrix metering system to adjust flash output for

natural balance between main subject and ambient background

lighting. If type G or D lens is used, distance information is included

when calculating flash output. Precision of calculation can be increased

for non-CPU lenses by providing lens data (focal length and maximum

aperture; see pg. 210). Not available when spot metering is used.

Standardi-TTLflashfordigital SLR:Flash output adjusted to bring lighting in

frame to standard level; brightness of background isnot taken into

account. Recommended for shots in which main subject is emphasized

at expense of background details, or when exposure compensation is

used. Standard i-TTL flash for digital SLR isactivated automatically when

spot metering is selected.

ISO Sensitivity

i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 200 and 6400.

At values over 6400 or under 200, the desired results may not be achieved

at some ranges or aperture settings.

Follow these steps when using the built-in flash.

Select matrix or center-weighted

metering to activate i-TTL balanced fill-

flash for digital SLR. Standard i-TTL flash

1 Shutter speed may be set as slow as 30s in slow sync, slow rear-curtain

sync, and slow sync with red-eye reduction flash modes.

2 The built-in flash supports speeds of up to 1/320 S when 1/320 s {Auto

FP) is selected for Custom Setting el (Flash sync speed, pp. 305-306).

Optional SB-900, SB-800 and SB-600 flash units support speeds of up

to 1/8.000sat settingsof 11320s(Auto FP)or 11250s (Auto FP).

3 Flashrangevaries with aperture and ISOsensitivity. Consulttable of

flash ranges(pg. 427) when setting aperture in Aand/I, modes.

At default settings, the effects of the flash can be previewed by

pressing the depth-of-field preview button to emit a modeling

preflash (pg. 315).

S Takethe picture.

Compose the photograph, focus, and shoot. If the flash-ready

indicator ($) blinks for about three seconds after the

photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full output and the

photograph may be underexposed. Check the results in the

monitor. If the photograph is underexposed, adjust settings

and try again.

Lowering the Built-in Flash

To save power when the flash is not in use,

press it gently downward until the latch

clicks into place.

[I_ The Built-in Flash

Use with lenses with focal lengths of 24-300 mm in FXformat (pg. 374).

Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range

of 60 cm (2 ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom

lenses.

If the flash fires in continuous release mode (pg. 86), only one picture will

be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

The shutter release may be briefly disabled to protect the flash after it has

been used for several consecutive shots. The flash can be used again after

a short pause.

subject before recomposing a photograph.

For information on choosing a flash sync speed, see Custom Setting el

(Flash sync speed, pg. 305). For information on choosing the slowest

shutter speed available when using the flash, see Custom Setting e2

(Flash shutter speed, pg. 308). For information on using the built-in flash

in commander mode, see Custom Setting e3 (Flash cntrl for built-in

flash, pg. 309).

See page 377 for information on using optional flash units. For
