~==FOREWORDI====-.
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Auto- focus Speedlight S8-22. We hope the S8-22 will make photography a much bigger part of your life. Get to know your S8-22, but before using it, be sure to read both your camera instruction manual and this man- ual. Nikon cannot be held responsible for malfunctions resulting from use of the S8-22 other than as specified in this man· ual, or from use of the S8-22 with a camera made by a manufacturer other than Nikon.
For Nikon F-401/N4004 camera users
Read the following instructions carefully when using the S8-22 with F-401 /N4004 camera.
1.Nikon F-401/N4004 camera is designed for use with AF Nikkor lenses, except AF-Nikkor 80mm 112.8, 200 mm f/3.5 IF-ED and Autofocus Converter TC-161TC-16A.
For most photos in this manual, aperture is set by rotating the lens aperture ring . With the F-401/N4004,however, aperture is set using camera'saperture dial. Do not forget to set and lock the lens at its smallest aperture.
For limited use of non-AF Nikkor lenses, see the
F-401/N4004instructi.on manual.
2_ Most of the explanations in this manual dealing with Programmed TTL Auto Flash, TTL Auto Flash, etc., apply to shooting dark subjects. However, by setting the F-401/N4004to program, aperture-priority or shutter-priority auto exposure mode, with the S8-22 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/N4004in- struction manual. (In manual exposure mode, ordi- nary TTL fill-flash is possible.)
