*1 Set the function selector to “Standard” for operations other than Camera Slave and Flash Slave.
*2 When the sync mode is set to "Normal” in aperture-priority auto exposure mode (A), the shutter speed is
controlled between 1/125 and 1/30 second. (When it is set to “Rear”, the shutter speed is controlled between
1/125 and 1 second.)
*3 In manual exposure mode, the shutter speed can be set at 1/125 second to 1 second, or B (bulb). (When
shutter speed is set to 1/2000 to 1/250 second, it is automatically controlled at 1/125 second.)
*4 In matrix balanced fill-flash operation, set the aperture dial so that the electronic analog display in the view­
finder goes out. If the photograph is taken while the electronic analog display appears, the operation is
automatically controlled by center-weighted TTL flash. (In this case the main subject is taken at the correct
exposure but with no background exposure adjustment.) Refer to "Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash" on page 24.
*5 When setting the flash mode selector in manual shooting mode, select a guide number (u Full, w 1/4, or
M1/16) so that the actual shooting distance corresponds to that of the exposure calculation chart.
Manual Flash Exposure mode
The flash output that falls on the foreground subject is directly related to the selected power setting on the
SB-104 and the distance from the Speedlight to the subject.
*6Center-Weighted TTL Auto Exposure (Nikonos RS & Nikonos V only)
The flash output that falls on the foreground subject is automatically controlled by the camera as a result of
measuring the amount of light which passes through the lens and strikes the film. It has no affect on the
background ambient light, which is controlled manually by the photographers shutter speed and aperture
settings.
