2 Install four penlight batteries following the + and - symbols inside the chamber. Reattach the battery chamber lid by aligning the indices on the lid and flash unit and sliding it up as far as it will go. .Four penlight batteries of any of the following types may be used: . AA-type zinc-carbon . AA-type alkaline-manganese . AA-type NiCd (rechargeable) . AA-type Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) (rechargeable) . AA-type (1.5V) lithium For more information on batteries, refer to “Notes on Batteries.” CAUTION .When replacing batteries, replace all four batteries at the same time, do not mix battery types or brands, do not use old with new batteries, and never reverse the polarity of the batteries when installing. Otherwise, the batteries may catch on fire or explode, due to the possible leakage of corrosive liquids. .In the event that corrosive liquids do seep from the batteries, avoid touching the liquids. Certain types of batteries contain strong alkaline liquids. If the alkaline liquids stick to your skin or clothes, wash immediately with running water. 3 Loosen the SB-22s’s mounting foot lock nut .. Slide the SB-22s into the camera’s accessory shoe . and tighten the lock nut .. 4 Set the SB-22s’s POWER switch to ON or STBY (standby) position. .If both the SB-22s and camera are not used for after approx. 80 seconds, the SB-22s shuts off automatically and the ready-light goes out to conserve battery power. This is called the standby function. To turn the SB-22s on again after it enters the standby mode, you can lightly press the shutter release button or press the FLASH button once. NOTE Do not use the standby function: .If the SB-22s is mounted on Nikon F3-series, New FM2, FM10 or FE10 cameras. .If the SB-22s is mounted on Nikon FA or FE2 cameras and the shutter speed is set to M250 or B (bulb). .If the SB-22s is mounted on Nikon FG or Nikonos V cameras and the shutter speed is set to M90 or B (bulb). .If the SB-22s is mounted on a Nikonos V with an optional sync cord for land use connected and the shutter speed is set to M90 or B (bulb). .If the SB-22s is mounted on a Nikon FM3A camera and the shutter speed is set to B (bulb). The standby function does not work: .If the SB-22s is mounted on Nikon FA or FE2 cameras with Motor Drive MD-12 attached and Remote Code MC-4A (or MC-10) is connected. 5 Adjust the flash head to the front position. .The BOUNCE indicator LED blinks when the flash head is tilted down to the -7° or tilted up. Make sure the LED is not blinking. For more details, refer to “Bounce Flash.” .The SB-22s comes with a wide flash adapter to increase the angle of coverage to match a 28mm focal length lens. Refer to “Setting the Built-In Wide Flash Adapter.” When no wide flash adapter is set, the SB-22s provides an angle of coverage to match a 35mm or longer focal length lens. 6 Slide the film speed (ISO) selector to align film speed (ISO) in use with the film speed (ISO) index. .For example, if you’re using ISO 100 film, align 100 with the film speed (ISO) index. .Operations explained in this manual are based on the assumption that the correct film speed is set on the SB-22s, which is necessary for checking the flash shooting distance range and aperture values on the aperture/shooting distance range panel. However, because there is no electrical connection between the ISO selector and the flash unit circuitry, flash firing and flash output will not be affected, even if the ISO scale is accidentally changed by moving the film speed (ISO) selector. 7 Preparation is complete. Now, refer to the following available flash modes: .TTL Auto Flash TTL mode .Non-TTL Auto Flash A mode .Manual M mode .Or other advanced flash techniques on the reverse side of this sheet READY FLASH JAPAN OFF ON STBY BOUNCE GN(ISO100) 28(m)/92(ft) m ft N 35mm 0.6 0.9 1.3 2 3 5 7 10 2 3 4 6 8 12 15 20 30 40 11 16 22 The built-in TTL auto flash sensor in cameras so equipped measures the illumination provided by the SB-22s that is reflected back from the subject. This measurement is made through-the-lens and when the light is sufficient to ensure proper exposure, the camera sends a signal to the SB-22s to stop firing. TTL Auto Flash TTL mode* provides simple and effective flash operation, recommended for users with little experience with flash. Cameras usable in the TTL Auto Flash mode 1 Set the flash mode selector on the SB-22s to TTL. 2 Set your camera. (Refer to your camera instruction manual for details.) .Set your camera’s exposure mode to Programmed auto (P), Aperture-priority auto (A), or Manual (M) mode. (Shutter-priority auto (S) mode is not recommended, because setting an appropriate aperture to match the shooting distance is difficult.) .Set your camera’s metering system to Matrix Metering, Center-Weighted Metering, or Spot Metering. .The shutter speed is automatically set to the flash sync speed. (Or you can intentionally set the shutter speed to one slower than the flash sync speed.) .Because the SB-22s features the sam...
