EXPOSURE COMPENSATION IN NON-TTL AUTO
FLASH MODE

The Non-TTL Auto Flash mode works best for subjects of

average (18% gray) reflectance. For very dark subjects, we

recommend closing the aperture about 1/2 to 1 stop smaller

than indicated on the SB-24 LCD. For very bright (almost white)

subjects, it is just the opposite. Open the aperture about 1/2 to

1 stop. Similarly, the automatic system operates best under

average indoor conditions in the home—an average-size room

having white ceilings approx. 2.5 to 3 meter (8 to 10 feet) high.
In a very large room, or in one with very high ceilings, such as

an auditorium, if you are more than about 4.5 to 6 meters (15 to

20 feet) from the subject, you should experiment by opening the

aperture 1 to 2 stops wider than the LCD indicates. Since there

is no way to anticipate any specific condition, you may want to

take a few pictures using exposure bracketing.
