Synchronization in Continuous Shooting The SB-26 is able to recycle fast enough to synchronize with a motor-driven camera firing continuously at up to six frames per sec. at 1/64 light output. This means you can take up to 40 flash pictures in rapid succession. Batteries must be fresh to achieve the rates indicated.

Overuse generates heat that could shorten the Speedlight's life. Safety range in continuous firing Flash mode Max. number TTL Auto H 15 Non-TTL Auto A 15 Manual Flash D 15 at full (1/1) or 1/2 light output, 40 at 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 or 1/64 light output Repeating Flash G Mode - For Multiple Exposure For multiple flash exposures on a single frame, use the SB-26 in the G mode. The flash can be fired up to to 160 times on one frame, and if used in conjunction with the camera body's multiple exposure control, many more flash can be achieved on the same frame. When making multiple exposures, there are many factors to consider. You may want to experiment before making the final exposure. Before proceeding: E ATTACH SPEEDLIGHT TO CAMERA. E TURN ON BOTH SPEEDLIGHT AND CAMERA. E USE MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE. E USE SINGLE-SERVO AUTOFOCUS (S or A) OR MAN- UAL FOCUS (M). E USE SINGLE-FRAME SHOOTING (S) FILM ADVANCE MODE.
