Confirming recycling time and replacing batteries
After firing at its maximum output in Manual flash mode
(p. 31), the SB-50DX will take approx. 3.5 sec. to be ready for
the next shot (with fresh batteries).
Replace batteries with new ones if the ready-light takes more
than 30 sec. to light up after firing. If the ready-light does not
light up within 40 sec. after firing, the SB-50DX turns off.
Approximately 260 flashes are available with a fresh set of
batteries (in Manual flash mode).

Install Batteries and Check Battery Power
Use two CR123A or DL123A-
type 3V lithium batteries. Other
power sources cannot be
used.
1.
Open the battery chamber lid and
insert batteries with the "+" and "–"
ends positioned as marked inside the
battery chamber. Then close the
battery chamber lid by sliding it into
place while pressing it down.
Always use fresh batteries of the same
brand.
Basic Operation
1
2.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on
the SB-50DX. Confirm that the ready-
light comes on.
If the ready-light does not light up within
30 sec., change batteries.
Note: Storing batteries
Keep the batteries out of children’s reach. If swallowed, contact a doctor
immediately. (For "Notes on batteries", see p. 65).
Check point
We recommend that you take spare batteries with you, especially when
traveling.
Test firing
You can perform test firing to ensure that the SB-50DX is
working properly. Turn the SB-50DX on, confirm that the
ready-light comes on, then press the FLASH button to fire
the SB-50DX. For test firing, the SB-50DX fires at 1/16
output in TTL/D-TTL auto flash mode (p. 25) or at maximum
output in Manual flash mode (p. 31). When performing test
firing, never place your eyes near the flash head.
ON/OFF button and standby function
Pressing the ON/OFF button turns on the SB-50DX and
indications appear in the LCD panel. Pressing the button
again turns off the SB-50DX and indications disappear.
If the SB-50DX is left unused for approx. 40 seconds, the
standby function activates and automatically turns it off. In
Wireless Flash mode (p. 48), standby function activates in
approx. 40 seconds as normal mode when the Speedlight is
attached to camera body; however, standby duration is
prolonged to approx. one hour when the Speedlight is
detached from camera body (used as a slave flash unit, p. 48).
With a camera body that is compatible with TTL/D-TTL auto
flash (p. 28), the SB-50DX automatically turns off when the
camera’s exposure meter turns off.
To reactivate the SB-50DX after it has been automatically
turned off by the standby function, press ON/OFF button or
FLASH button. (Pressing the FLASH button does not activate
flash in this case). With a camera body that is compatible
with TTL/D-TTL auto flash, the SB-50DX automatically turns
on when the camera’s exposure meter turns on.
Standby function cannot be deactivated.
Note: Completely turning off the SB-50DX
When carrying the SB-50DX in a camera bag, make sure that it is completely
turned off. If the SB-50DX has been turned off by the standby function,
accidental firing, operation and/or battery drain may occur while it is being
carried. To completely turn off the SB-50DX, press the ON/OFF button while the
LCD panel is on. Then confirm that the LCD indications are off.
