Nikon SB-16 instruction manual TTL-automatic mode, Non-TTL automatic mode

In the TTL-automatic mode

!~Same as Steps 1) and 2) in the manual mode.

3)Take the picture. With the S8-16 set at TTL and turned on, just take the picture .

Notes:

1)With a strongly backlit subject (such as a scene containing the sun), the desired exposure balance may not be obtained. In this case, use the 8B -16 on manual.

2)To give different exposures to the subject and background, you can re - set the camera 's shutter speed dial and exposure compensation dial accordingly. For example, use a slower shutter speed to make the back- ground overexposed and turn the exposure compensation dial in the - direction to make the subject underexposed.

In the non-TTL automatic mode

1)Set a shooting aperture on the lens. Read off the two usable apertures from the exposure calculator dial and set one of them on the lens.

2)Take a meter reading of the background. Frame the background in the camera'sviewfinder and turn on the camera'smeter to determine the proper shutter speed for the aperture you have set. Note that the shutter speed should be within the flash synchronization range for the camera you are using.

3)Take the picture. With the S8-16 set at A1 or A2 and turned on, take the picture only if a proper synchroniza- tion speed is available .

Notes:

1)Exposure is more easily affected by the brightness of the background in the non- TTL automatic mode than it is in the TTL-automatic mode.

2)Because the usable apertures are limited in the non-TTL automatic mode, a proper shutter speed to match the shooting aperture may not be available.
