How to Use Built in Flash on Nikon N65

The Nikon N65 is a 35mm camera released in 2001. Among the many features of the N65 is a built-in flash, known as a Speedlight. The Speedlight on the N65 is an automatic pop-up flash that helps lighten the subject of a photograph. With the Speedlight, photographers do not need to use a external flash device or find a shooting location with better lighting. The Speedlight feature requires little maintenance and can be used in most shooting modes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Press the shutter button halfway. The Speedlight will pop up and begin to charge.

2. Wait for the flash indicator symbol to appear in the viewfinder while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway. The indicator symbol looks like a lightning bolt with an arrow point at the bottom.

3. Line up the subject in the viewfinder and set the focus.

4. Fully press the shutter button to take the picture. The Speelight flash will go off to light the subject.

5. Press down on the flash until you hear it click back into place when you are finished using the Speedlight flash.

Tips & Warnings

• The Speedlight flash may not work for several minutes if it is used multiple times in a row. This is a safety feature to protect the flash tube inside of the bulb. Let the camera sit for a few minutes before trying to use the flash again.
