Nikon 14 manual Subjects Reflectivity, Fill-In Flash Photography

TIPS ON AUTOMATIC FLASH SHOOTING-----

Subject's Reflectivity

When you shoot a dark subject (one with low reflectivity), reduce the aperture selected by one-half to one full f/stop. When the subject is light in tone (has high reflectivity), reset the aperture so that it is one-half to one full f/stop wider. Otherwise, your pictures might come out over- or underexposed.

If you photograph a subject of very high reflectivity, such as when shooting directly into a mirror or metallic sur- face, underexposure is certain to occur. In this case, take pictures on manual.

Fill-In Flash Photography

In fill-in flash photography with a very bright back- ground, overexposure might occur . Make sure that the scene's brightness does not exceed the exposure value determined by the combination of shutter speed you set and aperture selected.

Sensor Unit SU-2

The sensor reads the light reflected from the subject . If something, such as the sync cord or your finger, comes between the sensor and the light reflected from the sub- ject, the SB-14 will be unable to deliver the correct ex- posure.
