The Nikon Speedlight
SB-16
is
a direct-mounting elec-
tronic flash unit, providing automatic through-the-Iens
(TTL) control of the flash exposure when used with Nikon
cameras havi
ng
TTL flash capability. Through the use of
an
interchangeable mounting foot, the
SB
-
16
can
be
at-
tached to the special accessory shoe of all Nikon
F3
-
series camera
s,
as
well as the standard
ISO
-type shoe
of the Nikon
FA,
FE2
, F-501/N2020, F-301/N2000
and
FG
camera, or the V-type Sync
Cord
for the
Nikonos-V.
Because
light
is
measured through the picture-taking lens,
you
are
assured of just the
right
exposure
with a variety of
lenses
and
accessory attachments
at
any aperture from
f/2
to f/22.
Programmed
TIL
auto flash photography can be performed
by
using the
SB-16
with the Nikon F-501/N2020 or
F-301/N2000 via the
AS
-g.
In
programmed
TIL
auto flash
photography, the proper aperture
is
automatically
set
for
correct exposure according to the film speed
in
use
.
It
is
not
necessary to change the lens setting from the minimum
aperture used for non-flash programmed shooti
ng.
Thanks to the incorporation of a front-mounted light
sensor, the
SB-16
is
also compatible with all other Nikon
camer
as
for automatic, but not through-the-Iens, flash
output control.
In
the non-TTL automatic mode,
you
have
a choice of two apertures. With a silicon-controlled rect
i-
fier and series circuitry, the
SB-16
is
able to conserve
energy when shooting subjects at close range; thus
re
-
cycling times are shorter and the number of flashes per
battery set
is
greater.
