5 When using an SB-27 with the D1, set the SB-27 to the Forced A mode.
6 The SB-26 can be set to slave mode for wireless slave flash photography. When
the wireless slave selector is set to D, shutter speed will be set to a value under
1 /
250
sec.
7 Autofocus can only be used with the SB-21B or SB-29 when a AF-Micro lens (60mm,
105mm, 200mm) is attached.
8 When using the SB-11 or SB-14 in A or M mode, connect the SC-13 using the SU-2.
While the SB-11 and SB-14 can be connected using the SC-11 or SC-15, the flash-
ready indicator will not appear in the viewfinder display and shutter speed will not
be adjusted automatically.

Important : Use Nikon Speedlights only. Using another make of flash
could damage the internal circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using
a Nikon Speedlight other than listed above, contact a Nikon-authorized
service representative for more information.
Notes
Flash Photography: Compatible Speedlights
Refer to your Speedlight manual for detailed instructions. In the table of different
camera types given in the SB-28DX manual, the D1 is classified as type A.
The shutter will synchronize with the flash when set to speeds of 1 /
500
sec. or slower.
When using the Medical Nikkor 120mm f/4 lens, set the shutter speed to 1 /
125
sec. or
slower.
If the flash-ready indicator blinks for about three seconds after a photograph is taken
with the SB-28DX set to TTL, the photograph may be underexposed. Check the
photograph in the LCD monitor. If it is underexposed, adjust the focus distance,
aperture, or flash range and try again. This underexposure warning may not appear
when a Speedlight other than the SB-28DX is used with a shutter speed of
1 /
500
sec.
If you find that images are underexposed even though no warning appeared in the
viewfinder display, try setting the shutter speed to
1 /
250
sec.
Sensitivity settings available for TTL flash photography are ISO 200, 400, 800, and
1600 equivalent. If sensitivity up (see “Custom Settings,” item 31) is used, the flash
may not produce appropriate lighting, depending on the aperture or distance to the
subject.
In the case of Speedlights equipped with an AF-Assist Illuminator, the illuminator will
only light when the center focus area is used.
When the exposure mode is set to programmed auto, the maximum aperture varies
with sensitivity, as shown below:
Sensitivity (ISO equivalent) 200 400 800 1600
Maximum aperture 4.8 5.6 6.7 8
For each increase in sensitivity, aperture is stopped down by half a step. If the lens
has a smaller maximum aperture than that given above, the maximum aperture will be
the maximum aperture for the lens.
When flash exposure compensation is used, appears in the viewfinder display, but
the amount of compensation is not displayed.
