Nikon SB-28 instruction manual Exposure compensation in flash photography

Exposure compensation in flash photography

For cameras in all groups

Flash exposure compensation in TTL Auto Flash t mode

For cameras in Groups I through VI (when making exposure compensation to the SB-28’s flash output and the background)

Use your camera's EV compensation control to make exposure compensation. In this mode, flash output is automatically controlled to keep both subject and background correctly exposed.

•For more details, refer to your camera's instruction manual.

The SB-28's LCD panel does not display the amount of compensation set on the camera.

•With cameras in Groups I and II, the shooting range indicator bars _ automatically change according to the amount of exposure compensation. For cameras other than those in Groups I and II, use this chart as a guide in obtaining the correct flash shooting distance range.

Exposure compensation values possible with various film speeds

Film speed		Exposure compensation value
	+2	+1	0	–1	–2
ISO 25	—	—	25	50	100
ISO 50	—	25	50	100	200
ISO 100	25	50	100	200	400
ISO 200	50	100	200	400	800
ISO 400	100	200	400	800	—
ISO 800/1000	200	400	800	—	—

For example, with ISO 100 film, if you want to make an exposure compensation of +2 steps on the camera, set the film speed on the SB-28’s LCD panel to ISO 25, then check the flash shooting distance range.

•For cameras in Groups I through VI, exposure compensation in the TTL Auto Flash t mode is not possible when the film speed exceeds those listed above. In this case, set the flash mode to Non-TTL Auto Flash ˙ or Manual Flash ƒ mode.
