[] Calculating Angle of View
The D800 can be used with Nikon lenses for 3Smm (135) format cameras.
If Auto DX crop is on (_ 79) and a 3Smm format lens is attached, the
angle of view will be the same as a frame of 3Smm film (35.9 x 24.0 mm);
if a DX lens is attached, the angle of view will automatically be adjusted
to 23.4 x 15.6 mm (DX format).
To choose an angle of view different from that of the current lens, turn
Auto DX crop offand select from FX (36x24), 1.2x (30x20),
DX (24x 16), and 5 : 4 (30x 24). If a 35mm format lens is attached, the
angle of view could be reduced by 1.5 x by selecting DX (24x 16) or by
1.2 x by selecting 1.2x (30x20), to expose a smaller area, or the aspect
ratio could be changed by selecting 5 : 4 (30x24).

[] Calculating Angle of View (Continued)
The DX (24x 16) angle of view is about 1.5 times smaller than the 35mm
format angle of view, while the 1.2x (30x20) angle of view isabout 1.2
times smaller and the 5:4 (30x24) angle of view isabout 1.1 times
smaller. To calculate the focal length of lenses in 35mm format when
DX (24x16) isselected, multiply the focal length of the lens by about
1.5, by about 1.2 when is 1.2x (30x20) selected, or by about 1.1 when
5 : 4 (30x24) is selected (for example, the effective focal length of a
50mm lens in 35ram format would be 75 mm when DX (24x 16) is
selected, 60 mm when 1.2x (30x20) isselected, or 55 mm when
5 : 4 (30x24) is selected).
379
The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS)and
can be used with CLS-compatible flash units. Optional flash units
can be attached directly to the camera accessory shoe asdescribed
below. The accessory shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash
units with a locking pin.
1 Remove the accessory shoe cover.
2
_,,_Y/i// \\ \\---_
Mount the flash unit on the
accessory shoe.
See the manual provided with the flash
unit for details. The built-in flash will not
fire when an optional flash unit is
attached.
[] The Sync Terminal
A sync cable can be connected to the sync
terminal as required. Do not connect another
flash unit via a sync cable when performing rear-
curtain sync flash photography with aflash unit
mounted on the camera accessory shoe.
380
The Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS)
Nikon's advanced Creative Lighting System (CLS) offers improved
communication between the camera and compatible flash units
for improved flash photography.
II CLS-CompatibleFlashUnits
The camera can be used with the following CLS-compatible flash
units:
• TheSB-910,SB-900,SB-800,SB-700,SB-600,SB-400,andSB-R200:
I Ira color filter is attached to the SB-910, SB-900, or SB-700 when AUTOor
(flash) is selected for white balance, the camera will automatically detect the
filter and adjust white balance appropriately.
2 Wireless flash control is not available with the SB-400.
3 Controlled remotely with built-in flash in commander mode or using optional
SB-91 O,SB-900, SB-800, or SB-700 flash unit or SU-800 wireless Speedlight
commander.
4 m/ft, 20 °C (68 °F), SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, and SB-600 at 35 mm zoom
head position; SB-91 O,SB-900, and SB-700 with standard illumination.
•SU-800WirelessSpeedlightCommander:When mounted on a CLS-
compatible camera, the SU-800 can be used asa commander for
remote SB-91O,SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, or SB-R200 flash
units in up to three groups. The SU-800 itself is not equipped
with a flash.
[] Guide Number
To calculate the range of the flash at full power, divide the Guide
Number by the aperture. For example, at ISO I O0the SB-800 has a Guide
Number of 38 m or 125 ft (35ram zoom head position); its range at an
aperture of f/5.6 is 38+5.6 or about 6.8 meters (or in feet,
125 +5.6=approximately 23 ft 7 in.). For each twofold increase in ISO
sensitivity, multiply the Guide Number by the square root of two
(approximately 1.4).

Non-CPU lens data option in the setup menu (_ 213), choosing auto
aperture (AA)when a non-CPU lens is attached automatically selects non-
TTL auto (A).
383
_I_ Notes on Optional Flash Units
Refer to the flash unit manual for detailed instructions. If the unit
supports CLS, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR
cameras. The D800 is not included in the "digital SLR" category in the
SB-8ODX, SB-28DX, and SB-5ODX manuals.
i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 1O0and 6400.
At values over 6400, the desired results may not be achieved at some
ranges or aperture settings. If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about
three seconds after a photograph is taken, the flash has fired at full
power and the photograph may be underexposed. View the
photograph in the monitor; if it is underexposed, adjust aperture, ISO
sensitivity, or the distance to the subject and try again.
When an SC-series 17, 28, or 29 sync cable is used for off-camera flash
photography, correct exposure may not be achieved in i-TTL mode. We
recommend that you select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot
and view the results in the monitor.
In i-TTL, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the flash
unit. Do not use other panels such as diffusion panels, as this may
produce incorrect exposure.
