18. Wait for the ready·light

@ tocomeon.

As soon as the flash ready-light built into the back of the flash unit comes on , the 88 -16 is ready to fire. With the exception of the Nikon F2 -series, if your camera has an LED ready- light inside the viewfinder, make sure that it is lit up, indicating that the 88- 16 is ready to fire. Note that with the Nikon FA, FE2, F-501/N 2020, F-3011N2000, FG, FG-20 or Nikonos-V, you must first turn on the exposure meter to activate the finder ready-light.

Notes:

1)With the 58-16A and F3·series cameras If both ready·fights blink, make sure that:

a.The flash unit is securely locked in place.

b.The film speed setting on the camera is within the usable range when the flash unit

is used in the TTL mode.

With the 58-168and FA, FE2, F -5011N2020, F-301IN2000, FG or Nikonos-V
