4 When taking close-ups where the subject is less than approx. 0.4m (1.3 ft.), tilt the flash head down.
• Tilt the flash head down to 50° when taking a subject closer than 0.4m (1.3 ft.) to illuminate the subject
sufficiently.
5 Use the table “Determining the aperture and flash shooting distance range (m/ft.)” (p. 15) to determine
the proper aperture, and set the same aperture on the camera.
• In the Non-TTL auto flash mode, set the same aperture on the SB-30’s Mode selector dial as well.
6 Check that the SB-30’s ready-light is on, then shoot.
• Refer to page 13, if the ready-light inside the camera’s viewfinder blinks after shooting.
Built-in wide-flash adapter
• The wide-flash adapter can also be used in other than close-up flash shooting.
• The angle of coverage of the SB-30 matches a 28mm lens. The built-in wide-flash adapter increases
the angle to match a 17mm lens. The guide number decreases from 16/52 to 10/33 (ISO 100, m/ft)
• When using a 17mm lens with the built-in wide-flash adapter in place, the distance between the
camera and subject becomes increasingly pronounced from the center of the frame to the periphery,
so the peripheral area might not be sufficiently illuminated in certain cases.
