Set aperture in the SB-26’s LCD panel*, then read the
shooting distance range.
For instruction, see “Setting Aperture Value (Manual
Adjustment),” pages 28 to 29.
In aperture-priority auto or manual exposure mode, set the
aperture value that you have set on the camera (from step 6).
In programmed auto or shutter-priority auto exposure mode,
aperture is automatically controlled by the camera. Choose
and set a value, using the “Guide to determining aperture”
in the following page.
Once aperture is set, indicator bars / show the shooting
distance range.
* This operation is important for reading the appropriate shooting distance from
the indicator bars (step 9); setting a wrong aperture value on the SB-26 does
not affect all TTL Auto Flash operations — a shot will be taken with the aper-
ture set on the camera.
