FV Lock
This feature is used to lock flash output for optional CLS-comp
atible flash units, letting you take
multiple photos or recompose shots without changing the flash level. Your subject need not be in the
center of the frame, giving you more freedom when composing shots.
Flash output is adjusted automatically for any changes in ISO sensitivity and aperture.
Mount a flash unit that supports FV lock on the camera accessory shoe.
Turn the flash unit on and choose a flash control mode of TTL or monitor pre-flash qA or
A.
If you are using an SB-5000, SB-500, SB-400, or SB-300 mounted on the camera accessory
shoe, choose [TTL] or [Auto external flash] for [Flash control] > [Flash control mode].
For information on other flash units, see the documentation provided with the unit.
Focus.
Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutter-release button halfway to
