Nikon cannot be held responsible for any malfunction resulting from the use of
the camera other than as specified in this manual.
•Use two CR123A or DL123A type lithium batteries
Use two fresh CR123A or DL123A type lithium batteries. Do not mix different
types of batteries.
•Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries
before important photographic occasions.
•Turn the SB-50DX’s power off when changing batteries
Turn the SB-50DX’s power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries
with ´ and ‰ ends positioned correctly.
•Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well
with a dry cloth before installing.
•Use fresh batteries at low temperatures
Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the SB-50DX may
not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low
temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.
•Flash recycling time slows down and number of firings per set of batteries
becomes less at low temperatures. However, battery power usually recovers
when the temperature returns to normal.
•Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries
Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge
batteries.
WARNING
Do not leave
Keep batteries out of children’s
reach.
If someone accidentally swallows batteries,
call a doctor immediately.
Notes on Batteries
Miscellaneous
•Cleaning Speedlight
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the SB-50DX and clean it with a
soft, clean cloth. After using the SB-50DX near seawater, wipe the SB-50DX with
a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then dry
it with a dry cloth. NEVER use organic solvents like thinner or benzene. They
may damage the SB-50DX.
On rare occasions, the LCD may turn on or turn dark due to static electricity. This
is not a malfunction. The display soon returns to normal.
•Do not subject the SB-50DX to strong vibration or shock
Do not drop the SB-50DX or hit it against a hard surface as this may damage its
precision mechanism.
•Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields
The SB-50DX may not function properly in strong electric or magnetic fields such
as near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the SB-50DX in such locations.
•Store the SB-50DX in a cool, dry place
Store the SB-50DX in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew.
Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances
that generate magnetic fields or an excessively hot place such as inside a vehicle
during the summer or near a heater.
•Avoid extreme temperature change
An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the SB-50DX.
When taking the SB-50DX to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice
versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside
a while to expose the SB-50DX gradually to the temperature change.
•Avoid water or moisture
Keep the SB-50DX away from water or moisture. When using the SB-50DX near
water, guard against splashes, especially salt water spray.
•Remove the batteries and store the SB-50DX with a desiccant
If you do not intend to use the SB-50DX for a long time, remove the batteries to
protect the SB-50DX from battery leakage.
•In a humid environment, store the SB-50DX inside a plastic bag with a
desiccant to keep out dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing
leather cases in vinyl bags may cause the leather to deteriorate. Keep the
batteries in a cool, dry place away from heat or humidity.
•Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture effectively
after a while.
•Leaving the SB-50DX unused for a long period of time may cause mold to grow
and result in malfunction. To maintain the Speedlight in peak condition, fire it a
few times every month. This will enable you to use the flash for many years.
