It also gradually decreases when batteries are not used for a long time and recovers after a short break following intensive use. Be sure to check battery power and replace the batteries with fresh ones, if you notice any delays in the recycling time. • Do not store batteries in locations subject to high temperatures and high humidity. Ni-MH Recycling rechargeable batteries To protect the earth's environment, do not dispose of used rechargeable batteries yourself. Instead, take these batteries to your nearest recycling center. 19 Reference information Reference information Notes on continuous flash shooting En Do not exceed the maximum number of continuous firings You should allow the SB-400 to cool off for at least 10 minutes after the maximum number of continuous firings are performed as shown in the table below: WARNING Max. number of continuous firings Flash mode Max. number of continuous firings i-TTL auto flash Manual flash (Flash output level: M1/1, M1/2) 15 Manual flash (Flash output level: M1/4 to M1/128) 40 Notes when using the SB-400 with D90, D80, D70-Series, D5000, D3000, D60, D50, D40-Series or COOLPIX 8800 cameras When using the SB-400 with D90, D80, D70-Series, D5000, D3000, D60, D50, D40-Series or COOLPIX 8800 cameras, the SB-400 must be turned on. • If the SB-400 is turned off while mounted on any of the above cameras, and the camera's "Auto flash" function is on, the camera's built-in flash will automatically pop up when shooting in poor light, coming into contact with the SB-400. • It is recommended that the SB-400 be detached from the camera when flash is not required. A note on microcomputer-controlled Speedlights The Speedlight incorporates a microcomputer to control flash operations. In rare cases, the Speedlight may not work properly even after a fresh battery is properly installed. If this happens, replace the battery while the Speedlight’s power is turned on. 20 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If a warning indication appears on the SB-400's ready-light or inside the camera's viewfinder, use the following chart to determine the cause of the problem before you take your Speedlight to a Nikon service center for repair. Warning indication inside the camera's viewfinder En Warning indication Cause Procedure The ready-light in the viewfinder blinks for 3 sec. after firing. Underexposure may have occurred. • Shorten the shooting distance. • Set camera’s aperture to a larger (f/3.5, f/4.5 or f/5.6). • Set the camera's ISO sensitivity higher. When mounted to the D5000, D3000, D60 or D40-Series, blinks in the camera's viewfinder. Lens' focal length is set shorter than 18mm. • Set the focal length longer than 18mm. The flash head of the SB-400 is not set to the horizontal position. • For bounce flash shooting, take the picture without any change. • For standard flash shooting, tilt the flash head to the horizontal position. When the ready-light on the SB-400 blinks Ready-light blinks Cause Procedure The ready-light blinks for 3 sec. at 4 Hz. Underexposure may have occurred. • Shorten the shooting distance. • Set camera’s aperture to a larger (f/3.5, f/4.5 or f/5.6). • Set camera's the ISO sensitivity higher. The ready-light blinks for 40 sec. at 2 Hz. Battery power is not enough. • Replace or recharge batteries. The ready-light blinks at interval of 0.5 sec. at 8 Hz. The SB-400 is mounted to a camera which is not compatible with CLS (SB-400 is usable only with cameras compatible with CLS). The ready-light blinks at 1 Hz. The body temperature becomes high because of repeating flash or other cause. • Wait until the body temperature drops and ready-light turns on again. • Hz (frequency) is blinking time per second. 21 Reference information Reference information Specifications En Electronic Automatic Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and series construction circuitry Guide number 30/98.4 (ISO 200, m/ft), 21/69 (ISO 100, m/ft) (20.C/68.F) Angle of coverage Flash shooting distance range Flash mode Compatible cameras Flash exposure control set on the camera Bounce capability ON/OFF switch Light distribution covers an 18mm lens when mounted on a Nikon DX format camera, and a 27mm lens when mounted on an F6 0.6m to 20m (2 to 66 ft.)
