With zoom lenses having a variable aperture, take note of the following before
setting the aperture on the SB-80DX and confirming the flash shooting distance
range.
Lenses having a variable aperture

There are two maximum aperture values indicated in the lens model name.

aperture at 28mm is f/3.5, but decreases to f/4.5 at 105mm.

After composing the picture by zooming in or out, read the aperture on the
camera’s LCD panel or in the viewfinder. Then set the same aperture on the
SB-80DX’s LCD panel and confirm the flash shooting distance range.
n
Aperture values are automatically compensated by the camera and appear on the
camera’s LCD panel or in the viewfinder. The aperture value displayed in the aperture-
direct-readout scale as seen in the viewfinder of the Nikon F5 or other cameras is fixed
and not automatically compensated.

Reading the aperture using the scale on the lens
m
After zooming in or out to select the appropriate composition, read the
aperture using the aperture scale on the lens. Then set the same aperture on
the SB-80DX’s LCD panel and confirm the flash shooting distance range.
At wideangle zoom settings, read the aperture value at the green index (or line).
At telephoto settings, read the aperture value at the yellow index (or dot).
At intermediate settings, read the aperture value between the two indexes.
