1 Set the camera’s exposure mode, sync mode, shutter speed, etc.
• The ready-light inside the camera’s viewfinder blinks to warn you that the shutter speed is not correctly set
with cameras FM3A, New FM2, and FE. In this case, make sure the camera settings are correct.
2 Determine the correct aperture to match the shooting distance range by referring to the table
“Determining the aperture and flash shooting distance range” (p. 15). Set the same aperture on the
SB-30’s Mode selector dial.
• For the available apertures, refer to the table “Determining the aperture and flash shooting distance
range.” (p. 15)
3 Set the same aperture on the camera or lens as set on the SB-30.
• Otherwise, the correct exposure cannot be obtained.
• When using a zoom lens having a variable aperture, refer to “Variable apertures after zooming in or out”
(p. 17) before setting the aperture.
4 Make sure the SB-30’s ready-light is on, then shoot.
• Refer to page 13 if the ready-light inside the camera’s viewfinder blinks after shooting.
