Close-up flash operation in AUTO mode
(Cameras in Groups I thru VI)
The SB-27 incorporates a built-in diffuser card which
diffuses light, enabling you to take close-up flash pictures
from 0.3m (1 ft.), softening harsh shadows and producing
natural-looking results with the SB-27 mounted on the
camera.
Two methods are possible :
(1) Mounting the SB-27 on the camera (See page 56.)
(2) Connecting the SB-27 to the camera using an optional TTL
Remote Cord (See page 59.)
—With a very light or dark-toned subject, you may not get a correct
exposure due to the subject's reflection factor. See page 60 on
"Exposure compensation for flash photography" and page 69 on
"Setting Forced TTL and Forced A modes" to ensure correct exposure.
