04 Take the picture.

When the shutter is re­

leased, the speedlight fires. After

you take the picture, watch either
the ready-light inside the camera’s
viewfinder or the one on the SB-102.

After a few seconds, it will light

again to indicate the flash unit is

fully recycled and ready for the

next shot.

•If the flash unit fires at its maxim um output,

its

ready-light

will

blink

lor

approxim ately

2

seconds

after

the

shutter

is

released

to

warn

that

the shot may have been under­

exposed.

In

this

case,

recheck

the

shooting

distance/aperture

combination

selected

and

use

the

wide-flash

adapter

or

move

closer

to

the

subject,

if

necessary.

This

warning

is

also

indicated

by

the

viewlinder

ready-lights

of

the

Nikonos-V

and

Nikonos

IV-A.

02 Turn off the flash unit.

To conserve battery power

between shooting sessions, turn
the power switch on the speedlight
to "OFF.”

Turning the power switch off between ses­

sions will also help prevent battery leakage.
