Compose the picture, make sure the ready-light
is on, then shoot.
nWhen the flash has fired at its maximum output and
underexposure may have occurred, the ready-light
on the SB-80DX blinks for approx. 3 sec. To
compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to
the subject and reshoot.

m Set the aperture within the available range as shown in the table below.
nFor example, for an ISO sensitivity of 100, with the zoom-head position adjusted to 35mm,
and the subject at a distance of 5m (16.4 ft.), selecting apertures from f/2 to f/5.6 from the
table will give the correct exposure.
