In Non-TTL Auto Flash

˙ mode, you can determine whether the

subject will receive the correct exposure by test firing the SB-28
before actually taking pictures.

1

Set the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-priority auto (A)

or Manual (M).

2

Press the SB-28’s

µ button until ˙ appears on the

LCD panel.

3

Set the same aperture on both the SB-28 and the camera.

4

Check that the SB-28’s ready-light is on.

5

Focus on the subject and check the shooting range indicator

bars

_ to make sure it’s within range.

6

Press the

~ button to fire the flash.

If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, this
indicates the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure. In
this case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject.

NOTE

To determine if the exposure will be correct in TTL Auto Flash

t mode,

press the

µ button to change the flash mode to the Non-TTL Auto

Flash

˙ mode. Set the same aperture on the SB-28’s LCD panel as in the

t mode, then perform test firing. If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3
seconds after shooting, the light will be insufficient for correct exposure in
the

t mode as well.
