The NIKON Autofocus SB-28D Speedlight has been specifically designed for the
KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS 600 Series and DCS 700 Series Digital Cameras. This
Speedlight retains all functionality of the NIKON SB-28 Speedlight and adds
functionality developed specifically for your camera.
Most of the SB-28D Speedlight functionality is described in the SB-28 instruction manual
(included with your Speedlight) and you will need to refer to that manual. This chapter
describes only the functionality specific to your camera.
Recommendations for Flash Photography
The following settings are recommended when you use flash photography.
✔ For better quality images with a greater choice of f-stops, an ISO setting of 80 is
recommended.
✔ A (Aperture-Priority Auto) or P (Programmed Auto) exposure mode is
recommended as your camera will automatically choose the appropriate f-stop in
these modes.
✔ You can also use S (Shutter-Priority Auto) or M (Manual) exposure mode, but be
careful that your camera does not go beyond the usable f-stops in dark lighting
conditions.
☛
TTL flash is NOT recommended with your camera. Be aware that some flash units
default to TTL, and you will need to change the mode.
CAUTION:
Use only NIKON Speedlights. Other units may damage your camera’s electrical
circuits due to incompatible voltage requirements, electrical contact alignment, or
switch phase. Your camera is not compatible with voltages of 250V or higher.
