TIBLE SPEEDLIGHTS
Use Nikon Speedlights only. Using another make of flash could damage the internal circuitry of
the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not included in the list of compatible
Speedlights, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
* Shutter speeds are set automatically in the range 1 /
500
– 1 /
60
s, or 1 /

–30 s at a flash sync
mode setting of slow sync.
** If a shutter speed faster than 1 /
500
s is chosen, the camera will automatically lower the
shutter speed to 1 /

When flash exposure compensation is used, appears in the viewfinder display, but the
amount of compensation is not displayed.
If the Speedlight is set at a distance from the camera using the SC-17 sync cord, cor rect
exposure may not be achieved at D-TTL settings other than standard D-TTL. We recommend
that you use standard D-TTL. When using standard D-TTL, take a test shot and view the
results in the monitor.
When using D-TTL flash control, use the flash panel provided with your Speedlight. Do not use
another type of flash panel, such as a diffusion panel, as this may introduce error into camera-
internal calculations, resulting in inappropriate flash exposure.
When the flash sync mode is set to slow sync or slow sync with red-eye reduction, select
programmed auto or aperture-priority auto exposure.
The shutter speeds and aper tures that can be used with the SB-28DX and SB-50DX are
shown below.
