Ttl Auto Flash Operation - Nikon F5 Instruction Manual

TTL Auto Flash Operation

The difference between Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash and stan-
dard TTL flash is in whether the flash output level is automati-
cally compensated or not. Operation is the same.
• Usable film speed range in TTL auto flash is ISO 25 to 1000.
1 Set camera's metering system and exposure mode, refer-
ring to the table on pages 111-113.
2 Turn Speedlight on.
3 Set Speedlight's mode selector to TTL.
• With the SB-23, setting the mode selector to TTL simultane-
ously turns the Speedlight on.
4 Look through the viewfinder, compose picture and lightly
press shutter release button, to confirm exposure indica-
tion in the LCD readout. In autofocus operation, also confirm
that in-focus indicator ( ) appears.
• Do not block the flash or AF-assist illuminator LED during flash
photography.
• In Programmed or Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, if you
fail to set CPU Nikkor lens other than G-type to minimum
aperture, blinks.
