Choosing A Flash Method
The SB-26 lets you choose between Programmed TTL Auto
Flash or Standard TTL Flash in TTL Auto flash mode.
Use the charts at right to confirm available flash/exposure
mode combinations.
Programmed TTL Auto Flash
By setting the camera’s exposure mode to a programmed
auto setting (either P
DUAL
, P or P
HI
), you can choose
Programmed TTL Auto Flash.
In Programmed TTL Auto Flash, the camera automatically
selects a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. and a controlled aper-
ture that corresponds to the ISO speed of the film in use
(see chart on page 68).
Flash output is regulated by the Speedlight to ensure a
“correct” subject exposure. This enables you to concentrate
on picture composition without worrying about exposure
settings (including aperture).
You can also perform Standard TTL Flash with the cam-
era set at aperture-priority auto (A) or manual exposure
mode. In Standard TTL Flash, the Speedlight controls the
flash output level to correctly expose the subject. Shutter-
speed and/or aperture setting(s) can be selected by the
user.
1) Suitable lenses and use depend on the camera; see instruction manual for
information.
2) Except AF lenses for F3AF cameras.
For Programmed TTL Auto Flash, use only AI-S lenses, which include AF
Nikkor, Nikkor lenses with a built-in CPU and Series E lenses.

Firing Flash
11
Fully depress shutter release button to fire flash.

Recheck ready-light to see if it is blinking.
If ready-light blinks for a few seconds after shooting, the
flash has fired at its maximum output but the light may have
been insufficient.
Reconfirm shooting distance and, if necessary, move closer
to subject or select a wider aperture (in aperture-priority
auto or manual exposure mode) to compensate underexpo-
sure.
