Flash exposure compensation in TTL Auto Flash

t mode

For cameras in Groups I through VI (when making exposure
compensation to the SB-28’s flash output and the background)

Use your camera's EV compensation control to make exposure
compensation. In this mode, flash output is automatically controlled to keep
both subject and background correctly exposed.

• For more details, refer to your camera's instruction manual.

The SB-28's LCD panel does not display the amount of compensation set on the

camera.

• With cameras in Groups I and II, the shooting range indicator bars

_ automatically

change according to the amount of exposure compensation. For cameras other
than those in Groups I and II, use this chart as a guide in obtaining the correct
flash shooting distance range.

For example, with ISO 100 film, if you want to make an exposure compensation of +2
steps on the camera, set the film speed on the SB-28’s LCD panel to ISO 25, then
check the flash shooting distance range.
• For cameras in Groups I through VI, exposure compensation in the TTL Auto Flash

t mode is not possible when the film speed exceeds those listed above. In this
case, set the flash mode to Non-TTL Auto Flash

˙ or Manual Flash ƒ mode.
