When used with the Nikon F-501/N2020, F-401/N4004,
F-301/N2000,
FA
,
FE2
or
FG
camera, the optional TTL
Remote Cord
SC-17
lets you perform flash shooting
with a subject closer than 0.6m.
1.
Use the
SC-17
to connect the S8-20 and camera.
(See
SC-17
instruction manual.)
2. Position the S8-20 and rotate the flash head so light
from the flash head covers the subject.
3.
Regardle
ss
of the lens
in
use, set the zoom set ring
so
"W"
appears
in
the zoom indicator window.
4.
To
determine aperture, use the following equation:
A
f/stop~
---------
flash-to-subject distance
where A corresponds to the film
in
use according to
the table below:
If you are
us
ing
ISO
100
film for example, and the
flash-to-subject distance is 0.5m, divide 4 by 0.5 to
get
f/8. That means you can use
an
aperture of f/8 or
smaller. Use
as
small
an
aperture
as
possible.
5.
Set the flash mode selector to TTL,
tu
rn
on
the S8-20
and take the shot.
With
very
light·
or
dark·toned subjects, make expo-
sure compensation with the camera's exposure com-
pensation dial.
