Auto Aperture Mode

While a variety of flash modes are available with the SB-28D Speedlight, only Auto Aperture mode is discussed in this Chapter. (Others are discussed in the SB-28 instruction manual.)

Auto Aperture mode has been developed specifically for your camera. Auto Aperture mode automatically controls flash output to achieve correct exposure for both the subject and background. When you use Auto or Manual Exposure modes, your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture size according to scene brightness in ambient light. The SB-28D Speedlight adjusts the flash output based on the f-stop in use, thus ensuring proper exposure.

You should use Auto Aperture mode for flash photography with your camera. TTL auto flash is NOT recommended.

Auto Aperture mode works only when you use D-type AF Nikkor lenses, AF Nikkor lenses (except for AF Nikkor for F3AF) or AI-P Nikkor lenses. Refer to Appendix C for more information.
