blinks if the wide-flash adapter is not attached.
Attach the wide-flash adapter for close-up flash
shooting.
The camera’s built-in Speedlight cannot be used
when flash head of the SB-50DX is tilted down.
When the built-in Speedlight is activated,
blinks. Press the camera’s Speedlight down to
retract it.
6. Set the aperture.
Refer to the table below and use the following equation to determine the
aperture.
ISO film speed 25 50 100 200 400 800
Factor (m/ft.) 1.4/4.6 2/6.6 2/6.6 4/13 4/13 5.6/18
f/stop
factor
flash-to-subject distance
For example, with a subject 0.5m (1.6 ft.) away using ISO 100 film, the
suggested aperture is:
f/stop
2
= 4
0.5
Or,
f/stop
6.6
= 4
1.6
In this instance you should use at least f/4 or even smaller aperture (larger f-
number), such as f/5.6 or f/8.
7. Compose, focus, confirm the ready-light comes on, then shoot.
If the ready-light on the SB-50DX and the camera’s viewfinder ready-light blink
for approx. 3 sec. after shooting, the flash has
fired at its maximum output. This may indicate
underexposure has occurred. To compensate,
use a wider aperture (smaller f-number).
Vignetting due to lighting situation, lens in use,
focal length, etc. may occur in close-up flash
shooting. Test shooting is recommended.
Usable lenses for close-up flash shooting
With a long-size lens, light may be obstructed
by the lens barrel.
