Nikon SB-600 user manual Display of the amount of underexposure

vIf the ready-light blinks after shooting, the light might be insufficient for correct exposure.

When the flash has fired at its maximum output in the TTL auto flash mode and underexposure possibly occurred, the ready-lights on the SB-600 and in the camera’s viewfinder blink for approx. 3 seconds. Depending on the camera in use, the ready-light on the SB-600 or in the camera’s viewfinder lights up.

To compensate, use a wider aperture after setting the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-Priority Auto (A) or Manual (M), or move closer to the subject and reshoot.

Display of the amount of underexposure

The amount of underexposure (0 to –3.0 EV) appears for approx. 3 seconds on the SB-600’s LCD panel when used with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, cameras in Group I and COOLPIX cameras compatible with i-TTL in the TTL auto flash mode. The above ready-lights will also blink at the same time.
