Notes on using optional Speedlights
• See your Speedlight manual for details. If the camera groups are defined in the
manual of the Speedlight with TTL Auto Flash, see the section for camera
group II
.
• Flash sync speed is 1/90 sec. or slower when using an optional Speedlight.
• Available film speeds for TTL Auto Flash are ISO 25 to ISO 800.
• When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is set on a
camera attached with the Speedlight with AF-Assist Illuminator, the Red-Eye
Reduction lamp of the Speedlight lights up. With other Speedlights without AF-
Assist Illuminator, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp of the camera body lights up.
• When optional Speedlight with AF-Assist Illuminator, SB-80DX, 50DX, 28/28DX,
27, 26, 25 or 24, is attached, the AF-Assist Illuminator of the optional Speedlight
emits light when the focus mode is set to AF, an AF Nikkor lens is attached, the
subject is dark and centre focus area is selected or Dynamic AF Mode with
Closest-Subject Priority is activated. With other optional Speedlights, the AF-
Assist Illuminator on the camera emits light.
• Set the exposure mode to Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual to take flash pictures
with non-TTL flash mode.
• With the SB-26, 25 or 24, even if Front-Curtain Sync is set on the camera body,
the Speedlight performs Rear-Curtain Sync when Rear-Curtain Sync is set on the
Speedlight in
P
,
S

or
M
exposure mode (camera setting is overridden). In
a
or
Vari-Program (except
h
), Speedlight performs Front-Curtain Sync even if Rear-
Curtain Sync is set on Speedlight (Speedlight setting is overridden).
• With the SB-26, 25 or 24, when Slow Sync is set on the camera body in
h
, Rear-
Curtain Sync is performed if Rear-Curtain Sync is set on the Speedlight.
• With the SB-26, 25 or 24, when Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with
Slow Sync is set on the camera body, Speedlight performs Red-Eye Reduction or
Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync even if Rear-Curtain Sync is set on the
Speedlight.

Usable Optional Speedlights
—continued
• With SK-6 and SB-24 attached, the AF-Assist Illuminators of the camera body
and the Speedlight do not emit light.
• In
P
or
a
exposure mode, the camera automatically controls the maximum
available aperture as follows in relation to the film speed:
ISO film speed

* When film speed increases by one step, the maximum available aperture is
stopped down by 1/2 f/stop. If you are using a lens with a maximum aperture
smaller than that listed above, the automatically controlled aperture range is
from the lens’ maximum to minimum aperture.
• Use the optional Accessory Shoe Adaptor AS-15 to use the sync terminal.
NOTE: When optional Speedlight is attached
Turn on the optional Speedlight power switch or set the built-in Speedlight to
Flash Cancel mode so the built-in Speedlight won’t pop up automatically when
an optional Speedlight is attached. When the built-in Speedlight automatically
pops up in
a
AUTO mode or Vari-Program, vignetting or uneven illumination
may result since the Speedlight may not pop up all the way.
