Switching Illumination Patterns In flash photography, the center of the image is most illuminated, while the edges are darker. The SB-5000 provides 3 types of illumination patterns with different light falloff at edges. Select the suitable pattern according to the photography environment. Standard The basic illumination pattern for common flash photography environments Even The light falloff at the edge of the image is less than with the standard illumination pattern. • Suitable for group photographs, in which sufficient light is required without light falloff at the edges. Center-weighted E The center-weighted pattern provides larger guide numbers at the center of the image than the standard illumination pattern (the light falloff at the edge will be greater than the standard illumination pattern). • Suitable for shots, such as portraits, in which the light falloff at the edge of an image can be ignored.
