t
Checking exposure before taking a picture
• When the flash-ready indicators on
the SB-5000 and in the camera's
viewfinder flash slowly for approx.
3 seconds after firing, underexposure
due to insufficient flash output may
have occurred.
• To compensate, use a wider aperture
(smaller f-number) or higher ISO
sensitivity, or move the flash unit
closer to the subject and reshoot.
Test fire the Speedlight under the
same conditions and with the same
Speedlight and camera settings before
taking the actual picture.
• When the flash-ready indicators flash
slowly after test firing, underexposure
due to insufficient flash output may
have occurred.
