Nikon D3

Review this page for information about the Nikon D3 and its performance with PocketWizard radios.

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.

HyperSync Performance

Use the grid below to view the D3's HyperSync performance with a specific flash. Find your desired light in the left-hand column, choose whether you want the "HyperSync Only" control enabled or disabled, and then select either "Highest Energy" or "Reduced Clipping" to download a PDF of the results.
