Nikon SB-26 - Close-Up Flash Photography in TTL Auto Flash Mode - to Flash on a very Close Subject

For example, to shoot a subject located 0.5 m away with
an ISO 100 film and a wide-flash adapter:
[f/stop] ≥
4
= 8
0.5
You can then use an aperture of f/8 or smaller (a larger f-
number). As far as conditions allow, you should choose
the smallest aperture (as large an f-number) possible.
• With a very light- or dark-toned subject, take additional
shots with other exposure compensation conditions to
ensure a correct exposure.
See “Flash Exposure Compensation” on pages 106 and
107, and “Exposure Compensation on Camera” on pages
108 and 109.

Hints and Notes
• Connect the SB-26 to the camera, using the SC-17 or
SC-24*.
* Used for F5 with the DW-30/DW-31 attached or for F4-series with the DW-20/
DW-21 attached.
• Position the SB-26 so light from the head covers the sub-
ject.
• Mount the built-in flash adapter.
The zoom-head position is automatically adjusted.
Confirm the LCD panel shows z 20x with m indica-
tion.
• Use aperture-priority auto or manual exposure mode.
• Choose p position (flash mode selector) for TTL Auto
Flash operation.
For further instruction, see the TTL Auto Flash Mode H
section relating to your camera type.
• Determine the aperture or f/stop value using the following
equation and chart, then set on the lens. The SB-26’s LCD
panel cannot be used to compute shooting distance.
