Ready-Light <§)
After the ON/OFF switch is turned on, the ready-light at
the back of the SB-16 lights up to indicate that the SB-16
is recycled and ready to fire. At the same time, the ready-
light inside the viewfinder of all Nikon F3-serles cameras,
in addition to the FA, FE2, FM2, FE, F-501/N2020,
F-301/N2000, FG, FG-20, EM and Nikonos-V also lights up.
Thus, without removing your eye from the eyepiece, you can
tell when the flash unit is ready for the next shot.
