(See SC-17 instruction manuai.)

2. Position the SB-24 so light from the fiash head covers the

subject.

3. Regardless of the lens in use, set the angle of coverage at

the 24mm position.

A

For example:

When using ISO 100 film and the flash-to-subject distance Is

0.5m (1.6ft), divide 4 by 0.5 to get f/8. That means you can use
an aperture of f/8 or smaller. Use the smallest aperture possible.

5. Set the flash mode selector to TTL, then turn on the SB-24

and take the shot.

'

Exposure compensation is possibie with the camera's

exposure compensation diai. With the Nikon F4 or F-801/

N8008, it is aiso possibie to make exposure compensation on
the SB-24.
