Nikon D700

Review this page for information about the Nikon D700 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.

D700 Specific Operational Considerations

The following operational considerations apply only to the D700.

Camera Firmware

For best results, use the latest camera body firmware. The latest firmware for the D700 is A:1.04 / B:1.03, available for download at Nikon Service & Support.
