Ready-Light @
Built into
the
back
of
the
SB-ll's
flash
head
is a
ready-
light which
comes
on
as
soon
as
the
speedlight is recycled
and
ready
to fire. As
an
additional
feature,
the
ready-
light blinks
if
the
speedlight
fires at its maximum
output
indicating
that
the
light
might
be
insufficient for
correct
exposure
on
Automatic. The
warning
blinks last for
approximately
two
seconds.
Open-Flash Button @
The
red
open-flash
button
is
used
to fire
the
speedlight
manually without
having
to
trip
the
camera's
shutter. In
this
manner,
you
can
create
multiple-exposure
"strobo-
scopic" effects
or
paint
the
scene
with light by firing
the
speedlight
repeatedly
with
the
camera
set to "B"
or
"T
."
The open-flash button is also
used
in
conjunction
with
the
ready-light
to
determine
if
you
can
get
the
correct
expo
-
sure
when shooting
on
Automatic. This is
especially
useful when
doing
bounce
flash. After
setting
up
the
shot,
push
the
open-flash button.
If
the
ready
-light
does
not
blink, you
can
take
the
picture.
If
it
does
blink, try moving
the
speed
light
closer
to
the
subject
or
bounce
surface,
or
reset
the
Sensor
Unit SU-2 to a
color-coded
position
calling
for a
wider
aperture.
