Although they often result in well exposed subjects the background may be terribly washed out or dark The N4004s Decision Master System uses special multi sensor light metering to evaluate such conditions and perform Balanced Fill Flash This means it controls the flash exposure so the main subject is well exposed and at the same time controls the background exposure With this system both the main subject and the background are correctly exposed producing a much more pleasing picture To avail yourself of this feature and brighten a subject which might otherwise come out dark due to available light conditions simply use the Decision Master System s automatic balanced fill flash capability This system produces balanced fill flash when shooting within the flash s normal operating range ee aN m Balanced fill flash mme AES Conventional fill flash 38 Here s how it works In program aperture priority or shutter priority auto exposure mode metering system of the N4004s automatically detects situations which benefit from balanced fill flash and activates the blinking viewfinder ready light indication to recommend you use the camera s built in flash or an accessory Nikon speedlight For automatic balanced fill flash first set the camera in program auto exposure mode then follow these procedures e 990909069000000000000090009 9 Check to make sure the subject is within proper flash shooting range for f
