v If the ready-light blinks after shooting, the light might be
insufficient for correct exposure.
In the TTL auto and Non-TTL auto flash modes, when the flash has fired at its
maximum output and underexposure may have occurred, the ready-lights on
the SB-800 and in the camera’s viewfinder blink for approx. 3 sec. Depending
on the camera in use, the ready-light on the SB-800 or in the camera’s
viewfinder lights up. To compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to
the subject and reshoot.
Display of the amount of underexposure
For cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS,
cameras in Group I and COOLPIX cameras compatible with i-TTL in the TTL
auto flash mode, the amount of underexposure (0 to –3.0 EV) appears for
approx. 3 sec on the SB-800’s LCD panel; at the same time the above ready-
lights blink.
•Pressing the a and g buttons simultaneously recalls this display.
