CLOSE-UP FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY IN TTL MODE ------

When used with the Nikon F-S01/N2020, F-401/N4004, F-301/N2000, FA, FE2 or FG cameras, the optional TTL Remote Cord SC -17 lets you perform flash shooting with a subject closer than 0.6m.

1_ Use the SC-17 to connect the S8-22 and camera. (See SC-17 instruction manuaL)

2_ Position the S8-22 and tilt the flash head down so light from the flash head covers the subject.

3_Regardless of the lens in use, use the wide-flash adapter.

4_ To determine aperture, use the following equation:

A

f/stop~ ---------

flash-to-subject distance

where A corresponds to the film in use according to the table below :

If you are using ISO 100 film for example, and the flash-to-subject distance is O.Sm, divide 4 by 0.5 to get f/8. That means you can use an aperture of f/8 or smaller. Use as small an aperture as possible.

5_ Set the flash mode selector to TTL, turn on the S8-22 and take the shot.

With very light- or dark-toned subjects, make expo- sure compensation with the camera'sexposure com- pensation dial.
