General Nikon Operational Considerations
The following operational considerations apply to all Nikon cameras unless otherwise noted.
Flash Sync Speed - Custom Camera Setting
When using a Nikon camera and ControlTL radios, the camera's "Flash Sync Speed" setting must be set to the slower shutter speed of the two "Auto FP" options. This setting can be found in the "Bracketing/Flash" Custom Settings menu.
D3 Specific Operational Considerations
The following operational considerations apply only to the D3.
Camera Firmware
For best results, use the latest camera body firmware. The latest firmware for the D3 is A:2.03 / B:2.03, available for download at Nikon Service & Support.
HyperSync Performance
