Notes on using the Speedlight

Be sure to read the instruction manual provided with each

Speedlight model before use. Following are some important
notes on using Nikon Speedlights SB-26 and SB-25.

—If there is no mention of this camera in the instruction manual, refer to the F4

camera's instruction manual.

Shutter speeds slower than 1/250 sec.

Exposure mode

Shutter speed

P

1/60 to 1/250 sec. (auto)

S

1/8 to 1/250 sec. (manual)*

A

1/60 to 1/250 sec. (auto)

M

1/8 to 1/250 sec. (manual)*

("When the shutter speed is set to 1/350 to 1/2000 sec., it is automaticaily

controlled at 1/250 sec.)

iFlash ready-light

If lit:

Flash is ready to fire.

If blinking: Flash fires at full output when exposure is not sufficient.

Reconfirm the distance between the camera and the

subject or select a wider aperture.

Iln Manual exposure mode

You may continue to take pictures regardless of the underexposure

indicators which appear in the viewfinder, (the exposure indicators
refer to the amount of background light). If you decide to ignore the
indicators, the major subject will be correctly exposed for ambient
light, but the background may be underexposed.

If you wish to have both the main subject and the background

correctly exposed, use slow sync flash.

(1) Set the exposure mode to S or M.
(2) Set the shutter speed and the aperture to obtain a correct

exposure for both the main subject and the background; fully

depress the shutter release button.

—Use a tripod to minimize camera shake.

IWhen the TTL flash output level of the Speedlight is adjusted

manually, the exposure compensation mark appears in the LCD
panel, but the compensation value does not appear.
