[QUOTE="aroy, post: 310041, member: 16090"] In my D3300 (and I am sure it will be same in your camera), there is a menu item - "Flash cntrl for built-in-flash". Enter the menu and select Manual. Under that you have different power setting from full to 1/32. That setting with flash popped up and at Aperture priority, with Auto ISO switched off fires the flash every time. That is what I do with AIS lenses. You have to control the flash intensity manually, but a few trials will get you there. Setting the flash intensity manually is not much of a problem. . The guide number is the distance the flash will illuminate at F1.0 and ISO 100. As the flash will fire at more than 1/5000 second, the speed should be set at the maximum flash synchronization speed (1/200 in case of D3300) . From the guide number and the distance of the object you can get the maximum distance. . From your object distance you can calculate the intensity.
