5 Referring to the distance to the subject, press the SB-24 M
button until the SB-24's distance scale indicates a distance
which corresponds to the actual focused distance to the subject.
Now, the SB-24's
LCD
(lower right corner) will indicate the level
of flash power needed to provide a flash exposure equal to the
daylight exposure.
However,
as
previously noted,
in
order to get a good fill-flash
ratio, the flash exposure should be one to two stops darker than
the daylight exposure. Therefore, press the M button one or two
times more. This will adjust the flash to one or two levels less
light. (i.e. half the power which will reduce the exposure by one
f/stop. Pressing
it
twice moves it to
1/4,
which
is
two stops less
than full
(111)
power.)

It
is
possible to approach this procedure from another point of
view; that
is
by first adjusting the flash to the desired flash
power setting, then selecting a lens aperture which
is
one stop
smaller than that indicated by the flash, and then adjusting the
shutter control for the correct available-light exposure.
Whichever method you use, you will need to make a creative
decision by
chOOSing
the fill-flash ratio.
We
hasten to note that
while you may wish to use the manual mode, when using the
SB-24 with Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash,
all
of these steps are
accomplished automatically.
