u When shooting subjects closer than 0.6m (2 ft.)
With the SB-800 attached to the camera, sufficient illumination of the subject
cannot be obtained. In this case, use the SB-800 off-camera by attaching the
optional TTL Remote Cord as shown below.
• In Do flash operation where Monitor Preflashes are fired, when the SB-800 is used
with D/G-type CPU lenses, you may not be able to get the correct exposure, because
distance information from the lens is used. In this case, position the camera (A) and the
SB-800 (B) at equal distances from the subject.
• For F5 cameras with the High-Magnification Finder DW-30 or DW-31, or F4 cameras with
the High-Magnification Finder DW-20 or DW-21, use the optional TTL Remote Cord
SC-24 instead of the SC-17.
