Flash shooting distance range in 1/300 TTL High-Speed Sync

When 1/300 TTL High-Speed Sync is selected in TTL Auto Flash mode, the guide number of the attached Speedlight (except for a Speedlight for F3) is limited to the values shown in the table below. Therefore, maximum flash shooting distance cannot be calculated from each Speedlight’s flash shooting distance scale or flash shooting distance range table provided.

To obtain maximum flash shooting distance in 1/300 TTL High- Speed Sync:

Guide number

Flash-to-subject distance = ———————

f/stop

Example: Speedlight attached—SB-26, film sensitivity—ISO 100, zoom-head position—35mm, aperture—f/5.6

14

46

—— = 2.5m or

—— = 8.2 ft.

5.6

5.6

Therefore, the maximum flash shooting distance of the example is 2.5m or 8.2 ft.

The minimum flash shooting distance can be obtained from the Speedlight’s flash shooting distance scale or flash shoot- ing distance range table provided.

For film sensitivity other than ISO 100, multiply the following coefficient to the guide number provided.

To select 1/300 TTL High-Speed Sync, set the camera’s exposure mode to Shutter-Priority Auto or Manual, then set the TTL flash sync speed to 3oo with the Custom Setting #20 (page 90). Other settings are the same as the Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash (page 118).

In 1/300 TTL High-Speed Sync, under-exposure warning may not appear on the Speedlight when flash has fired at maxi- mum output. Confirm exposure with the ready-light in the viewfinder.

Since the 1/300 TTL High-Speed Sync is an unique setting, warning indications after flash is fired do not appear. Make sure to confirm the flash shooting distance range.
