Speedlight Control

1) Automatic balanced fill-flash controlled by five-segment TTL multi-sensor with single-component IC. If SB-28DX Speedlight
is combined with a D-Type AF-Nikkor lens, 3D multi-sensor balanced fill-flash for D1 is used. If the SB-28DX is combined with AI-P or AF Nikkor lens other than D-Type, multi-sensor balanced fill-flash for D1 is used. If the SB-8DX is combined with a non-CPU Nikkor lens, balanced TTL flash for the D1 can be used with center-weighted metering.
2) Auto aperture (AA) flash: supported with SB-28DX and CPU Nikkor lenses
3) Non-TTL auto flash: supported with SB-28, SB-27, and SB-22s Speedlights

1) Automatic balanced fill-flash controlled by five-segment TTL multi-sensor with single-component IC
2) 3D multi-sensor balanced fill-flash for D1 series (SB-28DX or SB-50DX with type G or D Nikkor lens)
