• In Aperture-priority auto (A) or Manual (M) mode only:

—Press the { or } button until the same aperture on the lens is set on the SB-28’s LCD panel, then confirm the flash shooting distance range.

6Wait for the ready-light to come on and make sure the subject is in focus before taking the picture.

• If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, this indicates the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure. In this case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject.
