TTL Auto Flash H Mode: For F4-Series, F-801/N8008 and F-801s/N8008s Users Choosing A Flash Method The SB-26 enables you to perform the following flash methods. They are described in detail on pages 10 to 13. • Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash • Center-Weighted Fill-Flash • Spot Fill-Flash (not available with the F4-Series or F-801/N8008) • Standard TTL Flash Use the chart at right to confirm which flash method you will perform with your camera, the lens in use and the metering system set on the camera. In most cases, the lens/meter combination determines the flash method. In other cases, you may have to switch metering systems, change lenses, or both. By using the SB-26's ı button, you can also choose Standard TTL Flash, regardless of lens type. For practice, read "Set Up and Practice," from page 44 on.
