Nikon SB-28 - Manual (Page 80)

In Non-TTL Auto Flash
˙ mode, you can determine whether the
subject will receive the correct exposure by test firing the SB-28
before actually taking pictures.
1 Set the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-priority auto (A)
or Manual (M).
2 Press the SB-28’s
µ button until ˙ appears on the
LCD panel.
3
Set the same aperture on both the SB-28 and the camera.
4 Check that the SB-28’s ready-light is on.
5 Focus on the subject and check the shooting range indicator
bars
_ to make sure it’s within range.
6 Press the
~ button to fire the flash.
If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, this
indicates the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure. In
this case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject.
NOTE
To determine if the exposure will be correct in TTL Auto Flash
t mode,
press the
µ button to change the flash mode to the Non-TTL Auto
Flash
˙ mode. Set the same aperture on the SB-28’s LCD panel as in the
t mode, then perform test firing. If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3
seconds after shooting, the light will be insufficient for correct exposure in
the
t mode as well.
