FOREWORD
---------
The Nikon
Speedlight
SB-14
is
a
compact
and
light
-
weight
electronic
flash
unit
having
a
host
of
useful fea-
tures.
With
coverage
matching
that
of
a
28mm
wideangle
len
s,
this
unit
uses
a si
licon
-
controlled
rectifier
and
series
circuitry
to
provide
automatic
control
of
the
flash e
x-
posure
to
match
the
camera
-
to-subject
distance
. In
addition,
the
SB
-14
is
able
to
conserve
its
excess
energy
for
the
next
shot
when
shooting
subjects
at close
range
,
thus
reducing
recycling
time
and
increasing
the
number
of
flashes
per
battery
set
.
When
the
optional
TTL
Sensor
Cord
SC-12
is
used
in
conjunct
ion with the Nikon
F3
or
F3
High
-
Eyepoint
camera
,
the
SB-14
provides
automatic
through-the
-
len
s
control
of
flash
exposure.
Moreover,
the
SB
-14 allows
complete
creative
control
oj
bounce
flash with its
movable
flash
head
which
can
be
tilted
back
120°
and
rotated
120° to
the
right
and
120°
to
the
left
;
click
-
stops
are
provided
at
30°,
60°, 90°,
and
120 °
intervals
for
both
the
tilting
and
rotating
move-
ments.
Even
though
the
SB
-14
is
extremely
easy
to use,
you
should
familiarize
yourself
with
the
unit's
basic
operation
as
presented
in
the
/irst section. For
more
detailed
in-
formation,
please
refer
to "Controls
in
Detail."
A
few
minutes
Wisely
invested
now
will
payoff
later
in
years
of
rewarding
photographic
experiences
