Chapter 3 TTL Auto Flash H Mode: For F-601/N6006 and F-601M/N6000 Users 10 Set the controlled aperture (from step 9)*, then read shooting distance range on the SB-26's LCD panel. For instruction, see "Setting Aperture Value (Manual Adjustment)," pages 28 to 29. Once aperture is set, indicator bars / show the shooting distance range for that setting. * This operation is important for reading the appropriate shooting distance from the indicator bars (step 11); setting a wrong aperture value on the SB-26 does not affect all TTL Auto Flash operations - a shot will be taken with the aperture set on the camera. 11 Confirm shooting distance. Check whether subject falls within range of the shooting distance indicator bars / in the SB-26's LCD panel. If not, move closer to subject or select a wide aperture (when aperture-priority auto or manual exposure mode), then repeat steps 10 and 11. 54 55
