SYNCHRO-SUNLIGHT FILL-IN FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

For backlit subjects, to fill in shadows and balance

lighting, use the SB-20 even in daytime.

In the following, use a slower shutter speed to

avoid a dark background.

Without flash:

The backlit subject

comes out too dark.

With flash:

Both the subject

and the background
come out properly
exposed.

By setting the F-401 /
N4004 to program,

aperture-priority or
shutter-priority auto
exposure mode, with

the SB-20 set to TTL,

automatic balanced

fill-flash is possible in
situations where fill-flash

is effective, even with a

bright subject. For details,
see the F-401/N4004

instruction manual.

(In manual exposure

mode, ordinary TTL fill-

flash is possible.)
