Flash shooting distance range in the 1/300 TTL
High-Speed Flash sync mode (F5 only)

m The farthest flash shooting distance cannot be read on the SB-80DX’s LCD

panel. In this case, use the guide number table and equation for calculating
this distance, according to each zoom-head position.

D (farthest flash shooting distance) = Guide number ÷ f/stop (aperture)

2 With the Nikon Diffusion Dome attached

3 With the wide-flash adapter in place

nFor example, when shooting with an ISO sensitivity of 100, at a 35mm zoom-head position

and an aperture of f/5.6:

D = 14 ÷ 5.6 (f/stop) = 2.5 (in meters) (farthest flash shooting distance)
D = 46 ÷ 5.6 (f/stop) = 8.2 (in feet) (farthest flash shooting distance)
