FOREWORD
The Nikon Speedlight SB-10 brings you the advantage of light- weight, compactness and advanced circuitry. The use of a series- circuit configuration employing silicon-controlled rectifiers en- sures that the unit retains all the unused charge in the capacitor for ultra-rapid recycling. When working at a distance of 1 meter and an aperture of f/4 (ASA 100 fil m speed), for instance, recycl- ing time is less than 1 second on automatic operation . Also, since the unused charge in the capacitor is conserved, less battery power is required, and you get more flashes per battery load. Despite the unit's small size, there is no loss of illumination power. An advanced reflector design, coupled with a high-output flash lamp, gives corner-to-corner brightness and even illumina- tion. An accessory clip-on diffuser extends flash coverage up to 67 ° horizontally and 48° vertically, perfect for use with 28mm wideangle lenses. Additionally, the SB-10 has a built-in ready- light contact for exclusive use with the Nikon FE camera . This unique feature provides for greater convenience in flash photo- graphy .
To obtain the best results from this unit, read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep this booklet handy for quick reference until you have fully mastered operation. A few minutes of preparation will help you avoid costly mistakes.
