Nikon SB-26 Instruction Manual - Page 9

Red-Eye Reduction Control "Red eye" effect occurs in flash photography when flash pictures are taken in dim surroundings where the subject's eye pupils will be dilated (opened very wide). Light from the camera's flash reflects off the interior of the eye through the wide-open pupil and back into the camera's lens; the result in the photo appears as bright red eyes. With this function, before the shutter is released the SB-26's red-eye reduction lamp illuminates to make the subject's eye pupils become smaller, thus reducing the appearance of red-eye. The F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90 and F70-Series/N70 offers this exclusive Red-Eye Reduction Control, for use in any flash mode, except Repeating Flash mode. For more details and setting operation, see page 104, and the camera's instruction manual. Red-eye effect can also be controlled by the angle at which light strikes the subject and is reflected back to the camera's lens. For further details, see "Red Eye," page 138. Repeating Flash When used with any Nikon SLR, the SB-26 is capable of strobo-effect multiple flash exposure at up to 160 flash per frame; it also allows control of the amount of flash light output. Operation becomes simple once you learn how to match the number and speed of flash to your desired shutter speed. For details, see "Repeating Flash G Mode - For Multiple Exposure," pages 91 to 96. Repeating flash mode offers "strobo effect," multiple exposure on a single frame. 16 Chapter 1 Main Features/Functions SB-26 Feature Comparison: Flash Operations Available with Your Camera For details regarding your camera, see pages: 1) 33 to 41. 2) 42 to 49. 3) 50 to 58. 4) 59 to 64. 5) 65 to 70. 6) 71 to 76. 7) 77 to 80.
