Close-up flash operation
With the built-in wide-flash adapter attached to the SB-80DX, close-up flash
shooting can be performed. The built-in wide-flash adapter diffuses the light
from the flash to soften shadows. When the SB-80DX is used off-camera, you
can take more natural-looking close-up pictures.
nBe sure to use the wide-flash adapter when taking close-up flash photographs.
nTake care that light from the flash is not obstructed by the lens barrel when a long lens
is used.
nVignetting due to the lighting situation, lens in use, focal length, etc. may occur in close-
up flash shooting. It is strongly recommended to make test shots before taking the final
pictures.
