CLOSE-UP FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY IN TTL MODE

When used with the Nikon F-501/N2020, F-401/N4004,

F-301/N2000, FA, FE2 or FG cameras, the optional TTL
Remote Cord SC-17 lets you perform flash shooting

with a subject closer than 0.6m,

1. Use the SC-17 to connect the SB-22 and camera.

(See SC-17 instruction manual.)

2. Position the SB-22 and tilt the flash head down so

light from the flash head covers the subject.

3. Regardless of the lens in use, use the wide-flash

adapter.

4. To determine aperture, use the following equation:

A

f/stops

If you are using ISO 100 film for example, and the

flash-to-subject distance is 0.5m, divide 4 by 0.5 to
get f/8. That means you can use an aperture of f/8 or
smaller. Use as small an aperture as possible.

5. Set the flash mode selector to TTL, turn on the

SB-22 and take the shot.

With very light- or dark-toned subjects, make expo­

sure compensation with the camera’s exposure com­
pensation dial.
