Description
This mode is recommended in most situations. When using the SB-26, SB-25, or SB-24, set the sync mode selector on the Speedlight to NORMAL.
The flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 s, taking ambient lighting into account to bring out background de- tails. In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto exposure modes, the shutter speed chosen automatically by the camera is usually 1/500–1/60s.
Use this mode to suggest motion by creating a stream of light that appears to follow moving objects. When this mode is combined with programmed auto or aperture-priority auto, shutter speed is slowed to achieve the same effect as slow sync. When using the SB-26, SB-25, or SB-24, set the Speedlight sync mode selector to REAR.
In this mode (available only with SB-80DX, SB-28DX, SB-28, SB-27, and SB-26), a red-eye reduction pre-flash lights for approximately one second before the main flash, causing the pupils in your subjects’ eyes to contract and reducing the “red- eye” effect a flash can sometimes cause.
This mode combines red-eye reduction with slow sync (avail- able only with SB-80DX, SB-28DX, SB-28, SB-27, and SB-26). Set the exposure mode to programmed auto or aperture-priority auto.
