Ready·Light @
After the ON /OFF switch is turned on , the ready-light at the back of the 8B -16 lights up to indicate that the 8B -16 is recyc led and ready to fire. At the same time, the ready- light inside the viewfinder of all Nikon F3-series cameras, in addition to the FA, FE2, FM2, FE, F-501/N2020, F-301/N2000, FG, FG-20, EM and Nikonos-V also lights up. Thus, without removing your eye from the eyepiece, you can tell when the flash unit is ready for the next shot.
| FA | | |
FM2 | F-501/N2020, | | |
F-301/N2000 | FG | FG·20 |
Notes:
I)With the Nikon FA, FE2, F-SO IIN2020, F-301IN2000, FG, FG-20 or Nikonos-V, the meter must first be turned on by depressing the shutter release button halfway to activa te the ready-light function.
2)The ready-light will light up when the S8-16 is recycled to approx. 80 % full capacity. Therefore, it is a good idea to wait for a few more seconds when shooting subjects located at the far limit of the auto shooting range.
3)With alkaline -manganese batteries, if the ready-light takes more than 30sec. to light up, you should replace the batteries with a fresh set.
4)The voltage of NiCd batteries decreases rapidly when their power is almost exhausted, increasing the recycling time. When this occurs, stop using them immediately and recharge them or they may be damaged.
