Checking the correct exposure For cameras in all groups In Non-TTL Auto Flash ˙ mode, you can determine whether the subject will receive the correct exposure by test firing the SB-28 before actually taking pictures. 1 Set the camera's exposure mode to Aperture-priority auto (A) or Manual (M). 2 Press the SB-28's µ button until ˙ appears on the LCD panel. 3 Set the same aperture on both the SB-28 and the camera. 4 Check that the SB-28's ready-light is on. 5 Focus on the subject and check the shooting range indicator bars _ to make sure it's within range. 6 Press the ~ button to fire the flash. If the ready-light blinks for approx. 3 seconds after shooting, this indicates the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure. In this case, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject.
