Nikon SB-10 Switch User Manual


 
FOREWORD
The Nikon Speedlight SB-10 brings you the advantage
of
light-
weight, compactness and advanced circuitry. The use
of
a series-
circuit configuration employing silicon-controlled rectifiers en-
sures
that
the unit retains
all
the unused charge
in
the capacitor
for ultra-rapid recycling.
When
working
at
a distance
of
1 meter
and
an
aperture
of
f/4 (ASA 100
fil
m speed), for instance, recycl-
ing
time
is
less
than 1 second
on
automatic operation. Also, since
the unused charge
in
the capacitor
is
conserved,
less
battery
power
is
required, and you get more flashes per battery load.
Despite the unit's small size, there
is
no loss
of
illumination
power.
An
advanced reflector design, coupled with a high-output
flash lamp, gives corner-to-corner brightness and even illumina-
tion. An accessory clip-on diffuser extends flash coverage up to
67° horizontally and 48° vertically, perfect for use with 28mm
wideangle lenses. Additionally, the SB-10 has a built-in ready-
light
contact
for exclusive use with the Nikon
FE
camera. This
unique feature provides for greater convenience
in
flash photo-
graphy.
To obtain the best results from this unit, read this instruction
manual carefully before use. Keep this booklet handy for quick
reference until you have fully mastered operation. A few minutes
of
preparation
will
help you avoid costly mistakes.
