Compose a picture and shoot with flash
Confirm that the red ready-lights are on then
release the shutter.
• For details on test firing, refer to page 88.
In TTL mode, when the flash has fired at its maximum output
and underexposure may have occurred, the red ready-light on
that flash unit will blink for approx. 3 sec. (The ready-lights on
the SU-800 and in the camera's viewfinder do not blink.)
To compensate, move closer to the subject, set a higher ISO
sensitivity or use a wider aperture and reshoot.
• When the Speedlight SB-800 or SB-600 is used as a remote
flash unit, the red ready-light on the SB-800 or SB-600 blinks
for 3 sec. after firing. The amount of underexposure is
displayed. (For more details, read your Speedlight
instruction manual.)
• Manual flash output level can be set separately for each
group.
• Press the [SEL](FUNC.) button to display the manual flash
output level (blinking). Press the [] or [] button to
increase or decrease the value. Press the [SEL](FUNC.)
button once again and the value will stop blinking. The last
value to blink is the one that has been set automatically.
• Manual flash output level can be set in 1 step increment or
decrement from M1/1 to M1/128 output. (M1/1 is preset
when shipped from the factory.)
• Continuously pressing the [] or [] button quickly
increases or decreases the value.
• The value blinks during adjustment and stops after blinking
six times unless an adjustment is made. The last value to
blink is the one that has been set automatically.
