Wireless/remote camera and flash ranges
FLASH CONTROL ADI and pre-flash TTL flash control are available. Flash control is changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 70). The flash control used depends on the lens and flash combination. ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering - combines distance information from D-series lenses with information from a pre-flash exposure. ADI metering is less influenced by subject reflectance.

The camera automatically switches from ADI metering to pre-flash TTL when the autofocus system is prevented from focusing. When using the Macro Twin Flash 2400, Marco Ring flash 1200 or a wireless or off-camera flash unit, flash control is set to pre-flash TTL.

When using the Program Flash 2500 (D), switch both the flash unit and camera to ADI metering.
The camera and flash must be within 5m or 16.4 ft of the subject.
Pre-flash TTL - calculates flash exposure with a pre-flash only. This mode must be used with closeup filters or filters that reduce the amount of light entering the camera such as neutral density filters. Pre-flash TTL must be used when a diffuser is attached to the built-in flash, the wide-angle adapter with the Program flash 3600HS (D), bounce flash with the Program Flash 2500 (D), or an external flash unit.
