Zoom Head
®
The SB-16's zoom head has four settings which provide
various angles of coverage as shown in fhe fable.
The number with an orange background indicates that
you can use a lens with the same or a longer focal length
at that setting. However, please remember that the lower
the numbered setting, the smaller the guide number and
the narrower the automatic shooting range is. (The guide
number and automatic shooting range for each zoom
setfing is shown in the table on pages 31 and 32.). To set
the zoom head, simply pull it out or push it in until your
desired number appears with an orange background
behind it.
Notes:
1) W ith subjects ctoser than 1 meter, it is recommended that you setect
a setting with a one-stop smatler number than the focal length of the
tens in use to reduce the amount ol light at such close distances.
2) W ith the wide-flash adapter attached, you can use a 24mm tens.
