*1 Select metering system other than Spot.

*2 Standard TTL is performed with Spot Metering. Also, selecting Manual exposure mode automatically changes the TTL Auto Flash mode to Standard TTL with Speedlights other than SB-80DX, 50DX, 28/28DX, 27, 26, 25 and 24 that are equipped with TTL Auto Flash.

*3 Can be set from camera.

*4 When Spot metering is selected, Monitor Pre-Flash will not be fired.

*5 Wireless Slave Flash can be performed with the SB-26. Shutter speed is automatically controlled to slower than 1/90 sec. when the Wireless Slave Flash selector is set to D.

*6 With the SB-29s/29 and SB-21B, autofocus can only be used when an AF Micro-Nikkor (60mm, 105mm, 200mm and 70-180mm) is attached.

*7 Select exposure mode other than Manual or metering system other than Spot.

*8 TTL auto flash is possible with TTL Remote Cord SC-23.

In A or M flash mode, attach SU-2 to SC-13 with SB-11 and SB-14, or attach SU-3 to SC-13 with SB-140. SC-11 or SC-15 can also be used; however, the ready-light does not appear in the viewfinder and the shutter speed does not change automatically.

*9 Ultraviolet photography can be performed only when SB-140 is set to M. (Infrared photography cannot be performed.)

•Notes on using the optional Speedlight

•See your Speedlight manual for details. If the camera groups are defined in the manual of the Speedlight with TTL Auto Flash, see the section for camera group I.

•Flash sync speed is 1/125 sec. or slower when using an optional Speedlight.

•Available film speeds for TTL Auto Flash are ISO 25 to ISO 1000.

•With the SB-26, 25 or 24, flash sync mode set on the Speedlight overrides the setting on the camera body.

•When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is set on a camera attached with the SB-80DX, 28/28DX, 27 or 26, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp of the Speedlight lights up.

•Even when the optional Speedlight with the AF-Assist Illuminator is attached, AF-Assist Illuminator does not emit light unless the conditions for AF-Assist Illumination are met (page 43).

•With SK-6 and SB-24 are attached, AF-Assist Illuminators of the camera body and the Speedlight do not emit light.

•In Auto-Multi Progam exposure mode, the camera automatically controls the maximum available aperture as follows in relation to the film speed:

ISO film speed		25	50	100	200	400	800	1000
Maximum	Built-in Speedlight	2	2.4	2.8	3.3	4	4.8	—
available
	Optional Speedlight	2.8	3.3	4	4.8	5.6	6.7	6.7
aperture

*When film speed increases by one step, the maximum available aperture is stopped down by 1/2 f/stop. If you are using a lens with a maximum aperture smaller than that listed above, the automatically controlled aperture range is from the lens’ maximum to minimum aperture.

•Use the optional Accessory Shoe Adaptor AS-15 to use the sync terminal

•When flash exposure compensation is set, ~ appears in the viewfinder without the compensation value.

•ƒEE in the LCD panel and ¡ in the viewfinder blink and the shutter cannot be released when the exposure mode is set to ¡ and attached Speedlight is not set to TTL Auto Flash. Set the Speedlight flash mode to TTL, or set the camera’s exposure mode to ™, £ or ¢.

•To cancel Monitor Pre-Flash when using the SB-80DX, 50DX, 28/28DX, 27, 26 or 25, select Spot metering.

•Using camera's built-in Speedlight and the SB-50DX, double-flash operation and bounce-flash operation with double flash can be performed.

NOTE: Flash attachments made by manufacturers other than Nikon

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Other units may damage the camera’s electrical circuit due to incompatible voltage requirements (not compatible with 250V or higher), electric contact alignment or switch phase.
