• When the zoom-head position is adjusted to 28mm, set M1/4 flash output level on the
SB-600, which can be obtained from GN 14/45.9 (m/ft.) corresponding to the zoom-head
position of 28mm referring to the guide number table.
• In Distance-priority manual flash operation, the correct flash output level is automatically
determined by the SB-600 according to the shooting distance, aperture and ISO
sensitivity that are set.
To calculate the shooting distance
Calculate the shooting distance (m/ft.) by using this equation and the guide
number table, according to the ISO sensitivity, aperture value, flash output level
and zoom-head position that are set:
