Flash-to-subject distance (3) and effective
flash output distance range indicator (bar)
When the flash-to-subject distance appears
on the effective flash output distance
range indicator, the SB-5000 fires with
appropriate flash output.
The effective flash output distance range
indicator (bar) does not appear when the
SB-5000's flash head is tilted up or rotated
to the right or left. The flash-to-subject
distance is underlined when the SB-5000's
flash head is tilted down.
