Open- Flash Button
@
The ready-light on the SB -16
can
be used as an open-
flash button to fire the flash unit manually without having
to trip the camera
's
shutter.
In this manner, you can
create multiple-exposure
"stroboscopic"
effects or paint
the
scene
with light by firing the flash unit repeatedly with
the camera
set
at
B.
In this case, make sure that the
flash unit is not connected to the
camera.

The open-flash button is also useful for test -firing the
SB-16 to determine whether the illumination from the
flash was
sufficient
for proper exposure in the non -TTL
automatic
mode.
With the
shooting
mode
selector set
at
one of the color-coded dots (A 1 or A2), push the" FLASH"
button; if it starts blinking, then you know the amount of
light might have been insufficient for the subject. In this
case, reset the se lector to A 1 if it was
set
at A2
,
or move
closer to the subject. This test-firing is especially useful
when the flash head is tilted and/or rotated for bounce
flash.
