ABOUT
BATTERIES---------------~
New batteries
Purchase the newest (freshest) batteries possible.
Temperature
Battery life ratings are based on operation at 20°C (68°F). At
other temperatures, battery life is shortened. For low-temper-
ature operation, keep spare batteries and if possible, use NiCd
batteries.
Continuous use
Batteries are drained more quickly by continuous use than by
intermittent use.
Storage
Store batteries in a cool, dry place below 20°C (68°F).
Battery brand
Do not mix battery brands or models, or new and old batteries.
Disposal
Do not dispose of batteries by burning, and never disassemble
batteries.
NiCd batteries
Compared with regular batteries, NiCd batteries provide faster
recycling time and greater efficiency at low temperatures.
Before charging NiCd batteries, thoroughly read the instructions
for batteries and battery charger.
Batteries with
a .. + ..
terminal exceeding 6mm in diameter
cannot be used.
DC Unit 50·7
Nikon DC Unit SO-7 can be used as an optional external power
sou rce for more flash capacity and faster recycling . To use it,
connect the SO·Ts power cord SC-16 to the SB-24's external
power terminal. Even when powered with the SO-7, the SB-24
still requires batteries inside the flash unit. Do not remove the
batteries.
In continuous shooting using the external power source DC Unit
SO-7, to prevent flash head deterioration caused by heat, do not
exceed the maximum number of flashes as listed below.
