Manual flash can be performed in any camera, lens and metering system
combination. By selecting the aperture, you can control the exposure and
flash shooting distance. Flash shooting distance is determined by the
guide number and aperture.
Manual flash operation
1. Set the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture Priority Auto (A) or Manual
(M). (See camera’s instruction manual.)
2. Press the SB-50DX’s MODE button until the "M" for Manual flash appears
in the LCD panel.
3. Set the camera’s flash sync mode (See camera’s instruction manual).
Set the flash sync mode to Front-Curtain Sync with normal flash shooting.
The flash sync mode is automatically set to Front-Curtain Sync with a
camera without flash sync mode selection.
4. Determine aperture by referring to the guide number and (p. 33) flash
shooting distance and set the aperture.
In Manual flash mode, the SB-50DX always fires at its maximum output and
the amount of flash output cannot be adjusted. Control exposure by
changing aperture.
Some zoom lenses have variable aperture (lens’ brightness) with zooming
(variable focal length). (see p. 32).
5. Compose, focus, confirm that the ready-light lights up, then shoot.
Camera’s exposure mode in Manual flash mode
The aperture must be manually selected in Manual flash mode. In exposure
modes other than Aperture-Priority Auto and Manual, the shutter in some
cameras may not be released. (For details, see your camera’s instruction
manual.)
