With the Nikon flash units listed below, use external automatic flash control (A) or manual flash
photography. Setting the mode to TTL locks the camera's shutter button so that no shots can be
taken. In the table, 1 indicates D- or G-type Nikkor lenses (except IX-Nikkor), 2 indicates CPU
Nikkor lens other than D- or G-type (except AF Nikkor for F3AF) and 3 indicates non-CPU Nikkor
lenses.

✽3 The SB-26 operates in slave mode. If
✓ ✓ ✓
the wireless slave selector is set to D,
✓ ✓ ✓
the camera's shutter is automatically
✓ ✓
switched to a slower speed than
✓ ✓
1/180 sec.
✽4 When used with the SB-27, the
✓ ✓
camera is automatically set to TTL
✓ ✓
mode. However, because the SB-27
✓ ✓
cannot be used in TTL mode, reset
✓ ✓
the SB-27 to forced A mode.
✽5 Not recommended as these are only
✓
for manual flash photography.
✓
✽6 When the SB-29s, SB-29 or SB-21B
is used, autofocus shooting is only
✓
possible when an AF micro lens
(60mm, 105mm, 200mm or 70-
✓
180mm) is mounted.
✽7 To use AF mode or M mode with the
✓
SB-11 or SB-14, use the SU-2 on the
SC-13 at the same time with the
✓
respective connections. The SB-11
and SB-14 can also be used
✓
connected to the SC-11 or SC-15,
✓
but in this configuration the ready
✓
light inside the camera's viewfinder
cannot be used and the shutter
speed is not automatically switched.
■ Notes on using Nikon flash units
h Refer to the instructions supplied with the flash unit for details.
If the instructions provided with a D-TTL-capable Nikon flash unit (sold separately) include a
camera model chart, read the section on digital SLR cameras.
h The synchronized shutter speed when a flash is used is a slow speed of 1/180 sec. or slower.
h The operating range of shooting sensitivities in D-TTL mode is ISO 100-1600.
Red-Eye
h With the SB-26, SB-25 and SB-24, the setting on the flash unit takes priority in Rear Synchro
Reduction
mode. (Note that this does not apply when "Red-eye reduction" or "Red-eye Reduction Slow
✓
Synchro" mode is selected on the camera.)
✓
h If you set the camera's synchro mode to "Red-eye Reduction" or "Red-eye Reduction Slow
✓
Synchro" and then use a Nikon external flash unit that has its own red-eye reduction function, the
red-eye reduction lamp on the external flash unit fires.
h Even when the optional flash with the AF-assist illuminator is attached, AF-assist illuminator does
not emit light unless the conditions for AF-assist illumination are met.
✓
h With SK-6 and SB-24 are attached, AF-assist illuminators of the camera body and the flash do not
✓
emit light.
✓
h When the exposure mode is "P" Multi-Programmed Auto, the widest aperture that can be
automatically set by the camera is governed by the ISO setting used, as shown in the table below.
ISO setting
Maximum aperture (optional flash)
✽ If an aperture that is wider than the controlled aperture is still too dark, the aperture is determined by widest aperture on
the mounted lens.
h In D-TTL mode, if you use the TTL Sync Extension Cord SC-17 to operate the flash remotely from
the camera, you may not obtain the correct exposure in D-TTL modes other than standard D-TTL
flash control. If this happens, switch to standard D-TTL flash control. You should also take a test
shot beforehand.
h Do not fit attachments (such as a diffuser panel) other than the built-in panel to the front of the
flash in D-TTL mode. This causes errors in the camera's internal calculations and may result in
the image being incorrectly exposed.
h TTL multi-flash photography is not possible in D-TTL mode.
◆
Flash attachments made by manufacturers other than Nikon
Use only Nikon flash models. Other units may damage the FinePix S3 Pro camera's electrical circuit
due to incompatible voltage requirements (not compatible with 40V or higher), electric contact
alignment or switch phase.
■ Accessory shoe (with cover)
An optional flash, i.e. SB-80DX, 800, 600, 50DX, 27, 23, 22s or 29s can be attached directly to the
accessory shoe of the FinePix S3 Pro camera without a cord. This accessory shoe is equipped with
a safetylock which prevents accidental drop when a flash with a safety-lock pin (i.e. SB-80DX or 27)
is attached.
●
!
Always install the accessory shoe cover when you are not using an external flash unit.
■ Synchronizing terminal (with cap)
To use an external flash unit that requires a synchro cord, connect the synchro cord to the synchro
cord terminal (with JIS-B locking screw).
●
!
Always fit the terminal cap when the sync terminal is not being used.
