Operation Manual

• Use only Nikon Speedlights. Other units may damage the
camera’s electrical circuits due to incompatible voltage
requirements*, electric contact alignment or switch phase.
* Not compatible with 250V or higher.
• When using a special Speedlight such as a studio strobe
system, with a time-lag provision or one with a long flash
duration (i.e., Medical-Nikkor 120mm f/4), adjust shutter
speed down to 1/100 sec. or slower.
• Available maximum aperture for each film speed in Auto-Multi
Program is:
ISO film speed
25 50 100 200 400 800 1000
2.8 3.3 4 4.8 5.6 6.7 7.1
If you are using a lens with a maximum aperture smaller than listed, of course,
the automatically controlled aperture range is from the lens maximum aperture
to its minimum aperture(i.e., its entire range.)

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH NIKON SPEEDLIGHTS
The main features and functions are listed below.
• For multiple flash photography using the F70/F70
D, if the
electric current in the synchro circuit exceeds a certain level,
you may not be able to take a second shot after taking the
first shot. Take care that the combined total of the coefficient
(numbers shown in parentheses below) for all Speedlights
used at any one time does not exceed 20 at 20˚C/68˚F or 13
at 40˚C/104˚F.
SB-29 (1) SB-28/28DX (1) SB-27 (1) SB-26 (1)
SB-25 (1) SB-24 (1) SB-23 (4) SB-22s (1)
SB-22 (6) SB-21 (4) SB-20 (9) SB-19 (2)
SB-18 (16) SB-17 (4) SB-16 (4) SB-15 (4)
SB-14 (1) SB-12 (1) SB-11 (1)
If you are unable to take a second shot, disconnect the
master Speedlight from the camera, or turn each of the
Speedlights off and on at once. This resets the circuits so you
can resume shooting.
This also applies when using any non-Nikon studio speedlight
system.
