Basic operation

Minimum recycling time is for operation using fresh batteries.

The data was measured without using AF-assist illuminator, zoom-head position
adjustment, or LCD panel illumination.

The above data may vary due to variations in battery performance.

Replacing / recharging the batteries

Refer to the following table to determine when to replace or recharge your
batteries‚ if the ready-light takes a long time to light up.

Minimum number of flashes and recycling times

When using four fresh batteries of the same type, after the Speedlight fires at
M1/1 output.

External power sources

Using an external power source increases the number of flash firings and
provides faster recycling times (p. 94).

If extremely exhausted batteries are used, a strange sound can be heard caused by
the flash head zooming back and forth even when the SB-80DX is turned off. In this
case, replace the SB-80DX’s batteries even if an external battery source is used.
