SB-28

Autofocus Speedlight

Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of the Nikon

Autofocus Speedlight SB-28, a flash unit offering sleek new styling

and simple push-button operation. When used with Nikon SLR

cameras, the SB-28’s extensive capabilities range from 3D Multi-

Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, today’s most advanced flash

technology, to full manual operation.

To get the most out of your new flash unit, please read this manual

before use.

WARNING—To avoid injury

• Do not fire the flash directly into a person’s eyes at close

range as this may damage the retina, leading to partial or

complete blindness.

• Avoid touching the front of the flash head while using the

SB-28. The flash head generates significant heat during

normal operation, which could cause burns.

• Do not expose the SB-28 to water as this may result in

electric shock or cause the unit to catch on fire.

Determine which group your camera belongs to.

In this manual, Nikon SLR cameras are divided into seven groups

(I to VII) unless otherwise noted. First consult the camera group

table to see which group your camera belongs to. Then as you read

the manual, you will find specific information on how to use the

SB-28 with your particular camera.

Please open the front fold-out page for easy reference.

Foreword

Notes on LCDs

• Because LCDs are difficult to read when viewed from the side, you should look at

the LCD panel directly.

• LCDs are temperature sensitive and may turn black at high temperatures (approx.

60°C or 140°F). They clear up when the temperature returns to normal (20°C or

68°F).

• In cold temperatures (approx. 5°C or 41°F and below), the LCDs’ response time

slows down. This is typical of LCDs and no cause for concern. LCDs will function

properly once the temperature returns to normal (20°C or 68°F).

NOTE

Using the SB-28 in dim light

Press the .button to turn the illuminator on. Press the button again to turn it off. The illuminator

turns off automatically after approx. 16 sec. when the SB-28 is not in use.

Take some test shots.

Before taking important flash photographs, take some test shots to

ascertain the SB-28 is working as desired in the mode(s) you have

selected.
