Firing Flash TTL Auto Flash H Mode: For FA, FE2, FG and Nikonos V Users 9 Fully depress the shutter release button to fire flash. 10 Recheck ready-light to see if it is blinking. If ready-light blinks for a few seconds after shooting, 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 underexposure. 80 Chapter 3 Non-TTL Auto Flash A Mode - Shooting with Various Lens Apertures To use various lens apertures for the same subject or when camera/lens combination is incompatible with TTL Auto Flash mode, set the SB-26's flash mode selector to u for Non-TTL Auto Flash operation. In Non-TTL Auto Flash shooting, light output automatically changes to match the flash-to-subject distance, but instead of light being measured through the lens, it is measured by the light sensor on the front of the SB-26. The SB-26 can be used in Non-TTL Auto Flash mode with any Nikon camera/lens combination. Before proceeding: E ATTACH SPEEDLIGHT TO CAMERA. E TURN ON BOTH SPEEDLIGHT AND CAMERA. E USE APERTURE-PRIORITY AUTO OR MANUAL EXPO- SURE MODE. E USE SINGLE-SERVO AUTOFOCUS (S or A) OR MAN- UAL FOCUS (M).
