Auto Aperture Mode
While a variety of flash modes are available with the SB-28D Speedlight, only Auto
Aperture mode is discussed in this Chapter. (Others are discussed in the SB-28 instruction
manual.)
Auto Aperture mode has been developed specifically for your camera. Auto Aperture
mode automatically controls flash output to achieve correct exposure for both the subject
and background. When you use Auto or Manual Exposure modes, your camera
automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture size according to scene brightness in
ambient light. The SB-28D Speedlight adjusts the flash output based on the f-stop in use,
thus ensuring proper exposure.
You should use Auto Aperture mode for flash photography with your camera. TTL auto
flash is
NOT recommended.
Auto Aperture mode works only when you use D-type AF Nikkor lenses, AF Nikkor
lenses (except for AF Nikkor for F3AF) or AI-P Nikkor lenses. Refer to Appendix C for
more information.
