NIKON
F100
Intelligent Flash System
Nikon’s Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash system works perfectly with Dynamic AF
and 3D Matrix Metering in terms of importance. In fact, Nikon’s Fill-Flash system
works perfectly with all F100 exposure modes, exposure compensation techniques,
and exposure bracketing as well. It works realtime under demanding conditions for
action photography, in super-bright light and dim light of dawn and dusk.

◆ 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
works with the camera’s meters, and
each of the exposure control modes.
With a 5-segment TTL multi-sensor, the
F100 delivers sophisticated exposure
control under any conditions. It precise-
ly monitors flash output using a segmen-
tation pattern that conforms to the clas-
sic rules of composition. The five seg-
ments enable optimum exposure con-
trol, even after the composition has
changed and the subject is no longer at
the original focus sensor point. Nikon’s
5-segment sensor covers the entire
frame, providing better flash exposure
for a wider range of compositions.
◆ For flash photos at slower shutter speeds,
Slow Sync balances the exposure of
background and foreground subjects.
Slow Sync extends the automatic shutter
speed to the full range of available shut-
ter speeds from 1/250 to 30 seconds.
◆ The F100 offers a top TTL flash sync
speed of 1/250 second for automatic bal-
anced fill-flash even with the fastest
moving subjects—and sharp images
with longer lenses. A wider choice of
apertures offers more creative control,
and lets you shoot over a wider range of
ambient light conditions.
◆ Rear-Curtain Sync produces a stream of
ambient light behind the flash illuminat-
ed subject—especially effective when
slow shutter speeds are used.
◆ FP High-Speed sync up to 1/4000 second
means you can make fill-flash pictures
even in bright daylight, and still main-
tain wide aperture settings for expanded
control of depth of field.
◆ Before the shutter is released, Nikon’s
red-eye reduction lamp (on most
Speedlights) lights up to reduce red-eye.
This mode can be used with Slow Sync.
