For cameras with a built-in fl ash
Even when the camera’s AF-assist illumination is set to activate, the •
SB-700’s AF-assist illumination is given priority and the camera’s
AF-assist illuminator does not light up.
The camera’s AF-assist illuminator lights up only when the SB-700’s
•
AF-assist illumination is canceled.
Test firing
Pressing the test fi ring button determines whether the SB-700 fi res
properly.
The flash output level varies during test firing depending on settings •
and flash mode.
Modeling illumination
The fl ash fi res repeatedly at a reduced fl ash output level. This is useful
for checking the illumination and shadows cast on a subject before
actually taking the picture.
When the depth-of-field preview button on a camera compatible •
with modeling illumination is pressed, modeling illuminator fires. For
details, see the camera user’s manual.
The flash fires as a modeling illuminator for up to approx. 1 second.
