Share This Page. Thread Tools. Dec 13, 1. Messages: I do not use flash much, but am looking at a flash for this camera. Based on my research, it appears the SB is the more popular. Any thoughts? What advantages does the SB have over the SB for an infrequent flash user? Dec 13, 2. Messages: 37, I like the more powerful, more useful SB It can zoom with the lenses and more.
Dec 13, 3. Messages: 11, I have F and SB My SB28 is well-used, may be time for an upgrade. Dec 13, 4. I bought the SB before I bought the F I have not tried the zoom feature with the F but it works well with the N and the Hasselblads. Also the SB00 has the usual diffusion screen, the bounce flash capability and the ability to fire remote flashes.
I so rarely shoot flash that I have to check the manual sometimes before I use it, so I am not the best judge detailed features of these things. Dec 13, 5. Messages: 1, Sb 28 Zooms to fit afd lenses or can be manually zoomed. The zooming is motorized and internal. Bounce flash with built in diffusion lens and bounce card. Never seen a sb, assuming it also works with didg. Sent with typotalk. Dec 13, 6. Once set manually, the zoom-head position is locked and does not change even when the power is turned off and on again or the lens is changed.
Press the ' button and adjust the zoom-head position manually to match the focal length of the lens in use. Then, the flash will cover all the focal lengths. The SB comes with a wide flash adapter to increase the angle of coverage to match an 18mm or 20mm lens.
If the built-in wide flash adapter is broken off accidentally, it is no longer possible to set 18 or 20mm. In this case, press the ' and [ buttons simultaneously for approx.
Note that the LCD indications and available flash modes differ depending on which Nikon camera and lens you are using. The table below shows the auto flash mode recommended for use with each camera group. The SB provides a variety of flash modes to cover virtually all shooting situations. If your camera is in group I to VI, refer to pages , t flash modes, to get the most out of TTL automatic flash operations. This mode can also be used with cameras in all groups.
This mode automatically controls flash output to keep both subject and background correctly exposed. The SB fires a series of nearly invisible preflashes, called Monitor Preflash.
These preflashes are detected by the TTL multi-sensor in Group I cameras and the data is then integrated with distance information from D-type Nikkor lenses and other exposure data to determine the optimal flash shooting distance range and flash output level for balanced fill-flash exposure. This is especially effective for scenes that include: 1 a mirror, white wall or other highly reflective surface or 2 unwanted obstacles in front of the subject.
This mode automatically controls flash output to keep both subject and background correctly exposed when non-D-type AF or AI-P-type Nikkor lenses are used. The SB fires a series of nearly invisible Monitor Preflashes, which are detected by the TTL multi-sensor to help determine the best exposure for both subject and background. This mode automatically controls flash output to keep both subject and background correctly exposed when D or non-D-type AF Nikkor lenses are used.
The camera's Matrix Metering System determines the correct exposure based on the ambient light. Flash illumination brightens the main foreground subject but does not overpower the background. This mode operates with Center-Weighted or Spot metering. Centerweighted fill-flash measures the entire scene, but places emphasis on the center area.
Spot fill-flash reads a narrower central area or spot. Not all Nikon AF cameras provide spot fill-flash. In this mode, you can perform auto flash operation with the lens set to its minimum aperture highest f-number. The camera automatically controls the aperture according to the ISO film speed. You manually select a flash output level so that the main subject is correctly exposed regardless of the background brightness.
This system is not designed to automatically provide a balance between flash and ambient light; it is limited to efficient operation in dim-light conditions and is not recommended for use in very bright lighting conditions. Set and confirm the aperture using the lens aperture ring. A flash shooting distance range of 0. The amount of underexposure for example, —1. To compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject and reshoot.
The method for confirming the shooting distance differs, depending on the lens in use and the selected exposure mode. Check the flash shooting distance range as described below. Flash shooting distance range. Aperture value. In this case, use the guide number table and equation for calculating this distance according to each zoom-head position. The farthest flash shooting distance is 2. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration.
