Open-Flash Button
®
The red open-flash button is used to fire the flash unit
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 flash repeatedly with the camera
set
to "B."
However,
with the SB-14 connected via a sync cord
to
the camera
set at "B," the flash will not go off even
when
the
open-
flash
button is pushed. So, make
sure
to
remove
the
con-
necting
cord from the camera
before using the
open-
flash button.
The open-flash button is also used in conjunction with the
ready-light to determine if you can get the correct ex-
posure 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 flash closer to the subject or bounce surface,
or reset the Sensor Unit
SU-2
to a color-coded position
calling for a wider aperture.
