will be displayed on the LCD panel for both systems. 

 

For the following cameras; F-5, F-4 series, F100, F90X/F90/F80 
(N90S/N90/N80) series, F70D/N70, F810S/N8008S, F801/ N8008S and

5. Confirm that the subject is located within the effective distance range, 

indicated on the LCD panel. 

◆ 

Depending on the combination of the camera, lens and selected

◆ 

When the camera does not receive the appropriate exposure for the subject, the TTL/BL or TTL mark on 

the LCD panel will appear for 5 seconds after shooting, which shows that the flash power is not sufficient 
for this situation. Please re-take at a closer distance or use a wider aperture. In the case of F5, F100, 
F90X/F90/F80 (N90S/N90/N80) series and F70D/N70 cameras, the underexposure indicator appears for 
5 seconds. If you want to see the display for underexposure again, please depress the LIGHT button. 

◆ 

When the flash is fully charged, the ready light in the camera’s viewfinder will appear. If it does not 

appear, the shutter of the camera may operate at a slow shutter speed without triggering the flash. 

◆ 

If you use the AF camera with an AF lens, the AF Auxiliary Light will turn on automatically as you focus 

on a subject in a dark area. However the AF Auxiliary Light will not light up if central focus area is not 
selected.
