For Automatic
Operation
With the Sensor Unit SU-2
attached
to the
Speedlight
SB-14, you
can
shoot
on
Automatic.
Three
usable
£/stops
are
indicated
by the thick
color-coded
lines after you set
the
ASAIISO film
speed
on
the
dial.
For example,
if
you
are
using ASAIISO 100 film, you
can
select
either
£/4,
£/5
.6 or
£/8.
In selecting
the
£/stop,
the
flash-to-subject distance,
recycling
time,
and
depth
of
field
are
important factors.
Flash-to-subject
distance
The thick
color-coded
lines indicate
the
range
of flash-to-
subject
distances for automatic shooting as well as the
usable £/stops. Each distance
range
is
constant
regardless
of
the
film
speed
set
on
the dial. The
orange
line indicates
a
range
from 0.6m to 8m
(2
to 26 ft.),
the
yellow from
0.6m to 5.6m
(2
to
18
ft.),
and
the
blue
from 0.6m to 4m
(2
to
13
ft
.
).
So, for example, with ASAIISO
100
film
and
