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, tak- ing ambient lighting into account to bring out background de- tails. In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto expo- sure modes, the shutter speed chosen automatically by the cam- era 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 com- bined with programmed auto or aperture-priority auto, shut- ter 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 ap- proximately one second before the main flash, causing the pu- pils 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-pri- ority auto.
