Built-In Wide Flash Adapter —
For Shorter Focal-Length Lenses
Open Flash Button —
For Test Firing
Push the button for a test firing when you are not sure
whether the subject is within the flash shooting range.
For test firing, Non-TTL Auto Flash mode is used
because reflected flash light from subject is measured by
the light sensor on the front of the SB-25 rather than
through the lens (TTL) on the camera. The results, however,
can be used for TTL-auto flash.
Hints and Notes
• Set the SB-25 and your camera in the same manner indi-
cated in “Non-TTL Auto Flash Mode,” pages 80 and 83.
• After confirming that the ready-light is on, push the open-
flash button and check that the ready-light remains on.
If the ready-light blinks, light may be insufficient at the
aperture selected. If so, move closer to the subject or
select a wider aperture.
The SB-25 comes with a wide flash adapter to cover the full
range of short focal length lenses.
For focal lengths shorter than 24mm, consider using the
wide flash adapter to achieve expanded coverage.
When you use the wide flash adapter, the zoom head is
automatically adjusted and the LCD panel shows
with indication.
While the adapter is used, the automatic zoom-head
position adjustment does not function for F90-Series/N90,
F4-Series, F-801/N8008 or F-801s/N8008s cameras, even
when used with an AF Nikkor lens (including the latest D-
Type) or Nikkor lens having a built-in CPU.
