• When the SB-900 fires at full flash output
level, ready-lights on the SB-900 and in the
camera's viewfinder blink for approx. three
seconds after shooting.
• In this case, underexposure may occur. To
compensate the exposure, use a wider aperture
or move closer to the subject and reshoot.
Confirm the test firing indicator appears on the LCD.
Make the necessary settings on the SB-900 and camera
and press the test firing button to fire the flash.
• Ready-lights blinking after shooting may indicate
insufficient light for correct exposure. In this case, set a
wider aperture on the camera or lens, or move closer to
the subject.
