Preparation
A
■
Monitor pre-flashes
A series of flashes emitted for a very short time before the actual firing that
enables the camera to measure the light reflected on a subject
■
Effective flash output distance
Flash-to-subject distance with correctly adjusted flash output
■
Effective flash output distance range
Range of effective flash output distance
■
Zoom head position
Position of a Speedlight zoom head; the angle of coverage changes as the
zoom head position changes.
■
Flash exposure compensation
Intentional flash output change to obtain the desired subject brightness
■
Default settings
Function and mode settings at the time of purchase
■
Illumination patterns
Control types of light falloff at edges; the SB-5000 provides 3 illumination
patterns, standard, even and center-weighted.
■
Test firing
Flash firing to determine whether the Speedlight fires properly
■
Modeling illumination
Repeated flash firings at a reduced flash output level to check the glare
and shadows cast on a subject
