Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m (2 ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. The flash may be unable to light the entire subject with the following lenses at ranges less than those given below: LensZoom positionMinimum distance without vignetting AF-S DX NIKKOR 10–24 mm f/3.5–4.5G ED 18 mm 1.0 m / 3 ft. 3 in. 20–24 mm No vignetting AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12–24 mm f/4G IF-ED 18mm 1.0m/3ft. 3in. 20–24 mm No vignetting AF-S NIKKOR 16–35mm f/4G ED VR 24mm 2.0m/6ft. 7in. 28mm 1.0m/3ft. 3in. 35 mm No vignetting AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17–35 mm f/2.8D IF-ED 20mm 2.0m/6ft. 7in. 24–35 mm No vignetting AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17–55 mm f/2.8G IF-ED 24mm 1.0m/3ft. 3in. 28–55 mm No vignetting AF Zoom-Nikkor 18–35 mm f/3.5– 4.5D IF-ED 18mm 1.0m/3ft. 3in. 24–35 mm No vignetting

274 n ACalculating Angle of View The size of the area exposed by a 35 mm camera is 36 × 24 mm. The size of the area exposed by the D7000, in contrast, is 23.6 × 15.6 mm, meaning that the angle of view of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times that of the D7000. The approximate focal length of lenses for the D7000 in 35 mm format can be calculated by multiplying the focal length of the lens by about 1.5. Picture size (35mm format) Lens (36 × 24 mm) Picture diagonal Picture size (D7000) (23.6 × 15.6 mm) Angle of view (35mm format) Angle of view (D7000)
275 n Optional Flash Units (Speedlights) 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 as described below. The accessory shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash units with a locking pin, such as the SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400. 1Remove the accessory shoe cover. 2Mount 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. AThe AS-15 Sync Terminal Adapter When the AS-15 sync terminal adapter (available separately) is mounted on the camera accessory shoe, flash accessories can be connected via a sync terminal. DUse Only Nikon Flash Accessories Use only Nikon flash units . Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon flash unit not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
276 n 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. ❚❚CLS-Compatible Flash Units The camera can be used with the following CLS-compatible flash units: • The SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400, and SB-R200 : • The SU-800 wireless sp eedlight commander: When mounted on a CLS-compatible camera, the SU-800 can be used as a commander for remote SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, or S B-R200 flash units in up to three groups. The SU-800 itself is not equipped with a flash.

AGuide Number To calculate the range of the flash at full po wer, divide the Guide Number by the aperture. For example, at ISO 100 the SB-800 has a Guide Number of 38 m or 125 ft. (35 mm 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).

279 n DNotes on Optional Flash Units Refer to the Speedlight manual for detailed instructions. If the flash unit supports CLS, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D7000 is not included in the “digital SLR” category in the SB- 80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals. If an optional flash unit is attached in shooting modes other than j, the flash will fire with every shot, even in modes in which the built-in flash can not be used. i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 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. 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 choose spot metering to 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. The SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400 provide red-eye reduction, while the SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SU-800 provide AF-assist illumination with the following restrictions: • SB-900 : AF-assist illumination is available for all focus points; with 17–135 mm AF lenses, however, autofocus is available only with the focus points shown at right (if other focus points are selected, the AF-assist illuminator may not provide sufficient illumination for autofocus). • SB-800, SB-600, and SU-800 : With 24–105 mm AF lenses, AF-assist illumination is available only with the focus points shown at right. • SB-700 : AF-assist illumination is available for all focus points; with 24–135 mm AF lenses, however, autofocus is available only with the focus points shown at right (if other focus points are selected, the AF-assist illuminator may not provide sufficient illumination for autofocus). 17–19 mm 20–105 mm 106–135 mm 24–34 mm 35–49 mm 50–105 mm 24–135 mm
280 n Other Accessories At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D7000. Power sources• Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL15 (0 21–24): Additional EN-EL15 batteries are available from local retailers and Nikon-authorized service representatives. • Battery Charger MH-25 (0 21): Recharge EN-EL15 batteries. • Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D11 : The MB-D11 is equipped with a shutter-release button, AE/AF lock button, multi select or, and main- and sub-command dials for improved operation when taking photographs in portrait (tall) orientation. When attaching the MB-D11, remove the camera MB-D11 contact cover. • Power Connector EP-5B, AC Adapter EH-5a : These accessories can be used to power the camera for extended periods (EH-5 AC adapters can also be used). The EP-5B is required to connect the camera to the EH-5a; see page 282 for details. Note that when the camera is used with an MB-D11 , the EP-5B must be inserted into the MB-D11, not the camera. Do not atte mpt to use the camera with power connectors inserted into both the camera and MB-D11. Wireless LAN adapters • Wireless Transmitter WT-4 : Connects the camera to wireless and Ethernet networks. The photographs on the camera memory card can be viewed by computers on the same network or copied to a computer for long-term storage (be sure to always use the latest version of the software supplied with the WT-4). The camera can also be controlled from any computer on the network using Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately). Note that the WT-4 requires an independent power source; an EH-6 AC adapter or EN-EL3e battery is recommended. See the WT-4 manual for details. Filters • Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder. • The D7000 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use C-PL or C-PL II circular polarizing filters instead. • NC filters are recommended for protecting the lens. • To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame. • Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1 × (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8, ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). See the filter manual for details.
