• When using a remote cord with the FA or FE2 connected
to Nikon Motor Drive MD-12, camera remains on as long
as the MD-12’s power switch is on. In this case, the SB-26
will not turn off in STBY position.
Use OFF position to turn it off manually.
• You cannot use the STBY position to turn on the SB-26
when using it with an FA, FE2 or FG set on a mechanical
shutter setting (M250 or B setting with the FA or FE2, M90
or B setting with FG or Nikonos V).
Use ON position to turn it on manually.

Power Switch Standby (STBY) Position — To Conserve Energy and Shorten Recycling Time
Setting the power switch to STBY position turns on the
SB-26, but the SB-26 will also automatically shut off to con-
serve flash battery energy.
When you will not use the SB-26 for a long time, howev-
er, it is recommended to set the power switch to OFF.
Hints and Notes

tion, the unit turns off to conserve energy approx. 80 sec.
after the camera’s meter has turned off.
• To turn the SB-26 on again, lightly press the shutter
release button to turn the camera’s meter on, or push the
SB-26’s open-flash button Â.
