1 The SB-26 can be set to slave mode for wireless slave flash photography. When the wireless slave selector is set to D, shutter speed is set to under 1/90 S.

2 When an SB-27 is mounted on the DCS Pro SLR/n, the flash mode is automatically set to TTL, and the shutter-release is disabled. Set the SB-27 to A (non-TTL auto flash).

3 Manual mode only. Use is not recommended.

4 Autofocus is only available with AF-Micro lenses (60 mm, 105 mm, 200 mm, or 70-180 mm). 5 When using the SB-11 or SB-14 in A or M mode, use the SU-2 with an SC-13 sync cable.

Although SC-11 and SC-15 sync cables can be used, the flash-ready indicator will not appear in the viewfinder and shutter speed will not be adjusted automatically.
