Nikon SB-28 instruction manual The ready-light, Replace batteries

The ready-light

After the SB-28 is turned on, the ready-light lights up as soon as the SB-28 is recycled and ready to fire.

—Make sure the ready-light lights up before taking the picture.

The ready-light blinks when the flash fires at maximum output.

In TTL Auto Flash t or Non-TTL Auto Flash ˙ mode, if the ready-lights on the SB-28 and inside the camera’s viewfinder blink for approx. 3 seconds after the picture is taken, the flash has fired at its maximum output, indicating that light may have been insufficient for correct exposure.

•In that case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject before taking any more pictures.

Replace batteries.

•Replace alkaline-manganese batteries if the ready-light takes more than 30 seconds to light up. Replace lithium batteries if the ready- light takes more than 10 seconds to light up. See page 87-88, Notes on batteries.

•Recharge NiCd or Ni-MH batteries if the ready-light takes more than 10 seconds to come on.

•When exhausted batteries are used in the SB-28, the zoom-head position adjustment may be activated repeatedly, producing sound inside the unit, even when the power is turned off.
