Repeating Flash
When used with any Nikon SLR, the SB-26 is capable of
strobo-effect multiple flash exposure at up to 160 flash per
frame; it also allows control of the amount of flash light out-
put. Operation becomes simple once you learn how to
match the number and speed of flash to your desired shut-
ter speed.
For details, see “Repeating Flash G Mode — For
Multiple Exposure,” pages 91 to 96.
Red-Eye Reduction Control
“Red eye” effect occurs in flash photography when flash
pictures are taken in dim surroundings where the subject’s
eye pupils will be dilated (opened very wide). Light from the
camera’s flash reflects off the interior of the eye through the
wide-open pupil and back into the camera’s lens; the result
in the photo appears as bright red eyes.
With this function, before the shutter is released the
SB-26’s red-eye reduction lamp illuminates to make the
subject’s eye pupils become smaller, thus reducing the
appearance of red-eye.
The F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90 and F70-Series/N70
offers this exclusive Red-Eye Reduction Control, for use in
any flash mode, except Repeating Flash mode. For more
details and setting operation, see page 104, and the cam-
era’s instruction manual.
Red-eye effect can also be controlled by the angle at
which light strikes the subject and is reflected back to the
camera’s lens. For further details, see “Red Eye,” page 138.
Repeating flash mode offers “strobo effect,” multiple exposure on a
single frame.
