CLOSE-UP FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY IN TTL M O D E - - - - - -
When
used
with the Nikon
F-501/N2020, F-401/N4004,
F-301/N2000,
FA,
FE2
or
FG
camera,
the
optional
TTL
Remote
Cord SC-17
lets
you perform flash shooting
with a
subject
closer than 0.6m.
1. Use
the SC-17
to
connect
the S8-20
and camera.
(See SC-17
instruction manual.)
2.
Position the S8-20
and rotate
the flash head
so
light
from
the
flash head
covers
the
subject.
3.
Regardless
of
the lens
in
use,
set
the
zoom
set ring
so
"W"
appears
in
the
zoom
indicator window.
4.
To
determine aperture, use
the following
equation:
A
f/stop~
- - - - - - - - -
flash-to-subject distance
where A corresponds
to
the film
in
use according
to
the table
below:
If
you are
using
ISO 100 film
for
example,
and
the
flash-to-subject
distance
is 0.5m
,
divide 4 by 0.5
to
get f/8.
That
means you can
use
an aperture of f/8 or
smaller.
Use
as small an aperture as possible.
5.
Set the
flash
mode selector
to TTL,
tu
rn
on the
S8-20
and
take the
shot.
With very light· or dark·toned subjects,
make expo-
sure compensation with the camera 's exposure com-
pensation dial.
