Reproduction ratio scales Use white lines for lenses in normal position. red lines for lenses in reverse I indicator li nes Light output indexes See 38 . Lens selector knob Lens focal length scales Use white index for lenses in normal position, red index for lenses in reverse position . ISO film Fi lm Film ring index scale Aperture lreproduction ratio dial • To ensure proper protection for the S8 -21, be sure to leave the expanded polystyrene in the leatherette case.
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN CONTROLLER-------- e +
5. Attach the 58·21 to the With lens in normal position lens. Depending on the desired effect, you can attach the S8-21 in either horizontal or vertical position. a. Screw the 62 mm or 52 mm adapter ring into the front lens mount. b. Depress the mounting levers on both sides and attach the S8·21 to the adapter ring . With lens in reverse position Optional Auto Adapter Ring BR-6 is required. a. Attach the 8R·6 to the lens. b. Screw the 52mm adapter ring into the 8R·6.
SETTING CAMERA SHUTTER S P E E D - - - - - - - - Set the came ra 's shutter speed, referring to the table below. As shown in the table, an automatic sync speed setting is available with most Nikon cameras. Nlkon camera Synchronization speed (sec.) Camera seiling Running Shuller speed (sec.) Viewfinder shuller speed Indication Shutter speed Exposure mode F4·series 1180001/500 sec. 1/250 or slower 1/250-4 sec.
TTL AUTO FLASH S H O O T I N G - - - - - - - - - - - - 2 1 Set the light output selector on the 58 ·21 • to the TTL position. I ~----------------, For TIL auto flash shooting with the controller \ I I I \ AS-12 , use only Nikon F3-series cameras. With the AS-14, use only Nikon F4-series, F-801/N8008, FA , FE2, F-501/N2020, F-301/N2000 or FG cameras.
For external power source For batteries _ _ inside the control ler 4. Select and set aperture. When the S8-21 is powered by batteries inside the controller, usable apertures are indicated by the aper· ture indicator lines (excluding narrow line-end) which intersect the reproduction scale. When the S8-21 is powered by the external power source LA-2 or LO -2, usable apertures are indicated by the aperture indicator lines (including narrow line-end).
6 Confirm the viewfinder "ready-light lights up, then fully depress shutter release button to take the picture. Ili~ - - 5 Set controller power/ " mode switch to TTL to turn on the S8·21. I ~----------------------~ Overexposure warning \ I I I I I I I With the Nikon F4-series, F-801/ N8008 , FA, FE2, F-501/N2020, F-301/N2000, or FG, first turn on camera's meter by lightly pressing the shutter release button to activate the viewfinder ready-light.
1. Turn the film speed ring on the controller's aperture/reproduction ratio dial until the film speed index is opposite the film speed in use. 2 Turn lens selector knob to • set lens index. With lens in normal position: Set the lens index on the controller to the focal length of the lens in use. With lenses not listed on the scale, use intermediate settings.

To protect the S8-21 from damage, observe the following . AC Power Unit LA·2 1. Remove the batteries from inside the controller. 2. Using a coin, set the LA-2 's voltage selector to the proper voltage setting. (Fig. 1) 3. Make su re the LA-2 's power switch is turned off. 4.
DC Power Unit LD·2 Leave the four 1.5V AA-type batteries inside the controller ; without them, the underexposure ready-light indication might not be as bright. 1. Open the LD-2's battery chamber lid and remove the battery holder. (Fig . 1) 2. Install eight 1.5 V AA-type batteries in the LD-2's battery holder, then put the battery holder back in to the battery chamber so the notch on the battery holder is aligned with the lid inside the battery chamber. (Fig. 2) 3.
