vInsufficient light for correct exposure

• When the SB-900 fires at full flash output level, ready-lights on the SB-900 and in the camera’s viewfinder blink for approx. three seconds after shooting.

• In this case, underexposure may occur. To compensate the exposure, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and reshoot.

tChecking the correct exposure before shooting

Confirm the test firing indicator appears on the LCD. Make the necessary settings on the SB-900 and camera and press the test firing button to fire the flash.

• Ready-lights blinking after shooting may indicate insufficient light for correct exposure. In this case, set a wider aperture on the camera or lens, or move closer to the subject.
