FOREWORD
Compatible with all Nikon SLE cameras, the bracket
mounting Nikon Speedlight SB-11 features automatic
control of the flash exposure to match the flash-to-subject
distance. By utilizing a silicon-controlled rectifier and
series circuitry, the speedlight is also able to conserve its
excess energy for the next shot when shooting subjects at
close range thus reducing recycling time and increasing
the number of flashes per battery set. The optional
accessory TTL Remote Cord SC-12 (for the Nikon F3-
series camera) or SC-23 (for the Nikon FA, FE2, F-301/
N2000* or FG camera) allows the SB-11 to be used for
automatic TTL (through-the-lens) control of the flash
exposure. In addition, the SB-11 has a tilting flash head
allowing you to bounce the light off the ceiling or walls
for more diffused lighting—a technique especially useful
when taking portraits or snapshots.
Even though the SB-11 is extremely easy to use, you
should familiarize yourself with the unit’s basic operation
as presented in the first section. For more detailed infor
mation, please refer to "CONTROLS IN DETAIL." A few
minutes wisely invested now will pay off later in years of
rewarding photographic experiences.
*In the U.S.A. and Canada, the Nikon F-301 camera is sold as the Nikon
N2000.
