Nikon Standby function, Setting the standby function, To turn the SB-27’s power on again

Standby function

(Applicable to all camera groups)

When both the SB-27 and the camera are not in use, the SB-27’s power automatically shuts OFF after approx. 80 seconds in order to conserve battery power. (Standby function)

Setting the standby function

■Cameras in Groups I thru VI (featuring TTL Auto Flash)

Set the camera setting switch (inside the SB-27's battery chamber) to K.

—If it is set to ˚, the standby function will not work.

To turn the SB-27’s power ON again

Lightly press the shutter release button to turn the power ON.

—Pressing the open-flash button also turns the SB-27’s power ON. In this case, the flash does not fire. (See page 18.)

Standby function will not work when:

•Shutter speed is set at M250 or B (Bulb) (for FA and FE2)

•Shutter speed is set at M90 or B (Bulb) (for FG and Nikonos V).

•Shutter speed is set at B (bulb) (for FM3A).

When your SB-27 is not in use or if you carry it in a bag, we recommend setting the flash mode selector to OFF to avoid turning the power ON accidentally.
