Tips on Speedlight Care
Be sure to take trial shots first . . .
-When taking important photographs with the SB-104 or using it again after a long period of disuse, be sure to take one or more trial shots first to be sure it is working properly.
Have Nikon spot check your Speedlight regularly . . .
-Because the Speedlight is a precision instrument, we recommend taking your Speedlight to a Nikon service center once every year or two to have it spot checked, and to have it overhauled every three to five years.
-We recommend this service especially if the Speedlight is being used for commercial applications.
-Once water gets inside the plastic case or the battery has decayed, be sure to have your Speedlight spot checked, or it may emit a flammable gas.
Using the Speed/ight safely. ..
-Use only Nikon products with this Speedlight, since the SB-104 has been designed for use with specialized Nikon camera and lens accessories. The Speedlight may become damaged if you attempt to use it with products of other manufacturers.
Do not fire toward eyes
-Since the SB -104 is a high-power output flash unit, be sure not to fire the unit directly at or in the vicinity of human eyes.
