Nikon Procedures for bounce flash operation, Set the SB-27s flash mode selector to Auto

Procedures for bounce flash operation

1 Set the camera's exposure mode to aperture-priority auto (A) or manual (M).

With bounce flash operation, there is 2 to 3 f/stops less light available than in normal flash operation. We recommend that you select wider aperture (lowest possible f-number) and bracket to ensure correct exposure.

2 Set the SB-27's flash mode selector to "AUTO".

TTL		f t	m
	M mm	60	18
		30	9
A ZOOM		15	4
M ISO		7	2
		4	1
		2	0.6

Make sure you set the camera setting switch to K with cameras in Groups I thru VI, and to ˚ with cameras in Group VII. (Do not select the K setting with cameras in Group VII.)

3 Check the reflective surface and adjust flash head direction.

NOTE

Choose a reflective surface with a high reflection factor such as a white wall for bouncing the light off.

In color photography, only use bounce against white reflective surfaces. Otherwise, color photographs will come out with an unnatural color cast similar to that of the reflective surface.
