BASIC OPERATIONS-confinued____
•With a set of fully recharged NiCd batteries, the ready-light will light in approximately 5
seconds; with a fresh set of alkaline· manganese batteries, it wiff light in approxi· mately 14 seconds.
. If either the S8 -102's or the camera's ready· light does not light, check that: the batteries are properly installed, the camera, sensor unit, and ffash unit are securely connected, and the shutter speed/shooting mode and ASAIISO film speed setting on the camera are correctfy set.
·See pages 27 to 28 for information about ready-light exposure warning information.
31 Take the picture .
•When the shutter is re- leased, the speedlight fire s. After you take the picture, watch either the ready-light inside the camera 's viewfinder or the one on the 88-102 . Afte r a few seconds, it will light again to indicate tile flash unit is fully recycled and ready for the next shot.
·If the ffash unit fires at its maximum output, its ready-light will blink for approximately 2 seconds after the shutter is released to warn that the shot may have been under- exposed. In this case, recheck the shooting distance/aperture combination selected and use the wide-ffash adapter or move closer to the subject, if necessary. This warning is also indicated by the viewfinder ready-lights of the Nikonos-V and Nikonos IV-A.
32 Turn off the flash unit.
•To conserve battery power between shooting sessions, turn the power switch on the speedlight to "OFF."
•Turning the pcwer switch off between ses - sions will also help prevent battery leakage.
