For Manual Operation

Set the ASA/ISO dial and simply read off the f/number

which appears directly above the flash-to-subject dis­

tance; then set this aperture on your lens.

For example, with ASA/ISO 100 and a subject 2m (approx.

7 ft.) away, the usable f/stop is f/16 without wide-flash

adapter, or f/11 with the wide-flash adapter attached.

Without referring to the exposure calculator dial, you

can also determine the f/stop by using the following egua-

tion:
f/stop =

guide number

flash-to-subject distance

With ASA/ISO 100 film and meters, the SB-14's guide

number is 32. If the subject is 8m away, divide 32 by 8 to

get f/4.

Caution: For manual operation, be sure to set the shooting mode selector

ol the Sensor Unit SU-2at the "M"position.
