FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Electronic flashes are convenient not only for night
or low-light shooting but also as a supplemental light
to fill in shadows in the daytime. When shooting with
electronic flashes such as the Nikon Speedlights
SB-18, SB-16B and SB-15, the FG's shutter speed is
automatically switched to 1/90 sec. on P. A and on
manual modes when the manual shutter speed is
l/125sec. or above. If the manual shutter speed is
1/60sec. or below, the shutter will operate at the set
speed. The Nikon FG directly accepts the Nikon
SB-18, SB-16B and SB-15 which have an ISO-type
hot-shoe mount, and the SB-12, SB-16A and SB-17 via
the Flash Unit Coupler AS-6. Be sure to check the
guide number of the flash unit and set the aperture to
match the shooting distance. The sync contact of the
FG is an X-contact only and synchronizes at the
speed of 1/90sec. or slower. Flash bulbs can also be
used at the following shutter speed sync ranges;
