Nikon SB-26 Instruction Manual - Page 19

Set Up and Practice Some operations can be controlled automatically when the camera is used with an AF Nikkor lens (including the latest D-Type) or Nikkor lens having a built-in CPU. In other cases, operate manually. The following instructions describe a situation where you are using either a D-type Nikkor to operate 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, or an AF Nikkor (except for F3AF) or AIP lens to operate Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. With other lenses, Center-Weighted or Spot Fill-Flash will be performed. Before proceeding: E ATTACH SPEEDLIGHT TO CAMERA. E TURN ON BOTH SPEEDLIGHT AND CAMERA. E USE SINGLE-SERVO AUTOFOCUS (S) OR MANUAL FOCUS (M). E USE SINGLE-FRAME SHOOTING (S) FILM ADVANCE MODE. Automatic aperture/zoom-head adjustment: AF Nikkor lens (including the latest D-Type) or Nikkor lens having a built-in CPU The aperture and zoom-head position in use are automatically set and indicated in the SB-26's LCD panel. For other lenses, set manually according to the shooting situation. See "Setting Aperture Value (Manual Adjustment)," pages 28 and 29, and "Setting Zoom-Head Position (Manual Adjustment)," pages 29 and 30. 36 Remote TTL Auto Flash operation The optional SC-17 cord enables you to use the SB-26 off-camera. When performing 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced FillFlash, remote operation of the SB-26 works properly only if the SB-26 is placed at a distance and angle similar to the camera-to-subject distance/angle. For other situations, switch to a flash method other than 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.
