FOREWORDI
~~~~~--------------------------
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Autofocus 8peedlight
88-24. Used together with Nikon's newest 8LR models (F4,
F-801/N8008, F-401s/N4004s),
it
offers you the most advanced
and complete system for automatic flash photography available.
Used with any earlier Nikon 8LR model, it lets you take advan-
tage of TTL auto control and creative features such
as
Strobo-
effect multiple flash exposures,
and
more.
To
get the maximum performance from your new
88
-
24
, be
sure to take time to read the instruction manual completely.
It
includes a great deal of important information, including
explanations
on
how to use the newest, most advanced
features.
Even
the most experienced photographers should
thoroughly read this manual. Although the 88-24 controls may
seem familiar, much of its operation
is
different from ordinary
flash units.
We
know you '
re
anxious to get started,
so
if you are
in
a
real
hurry, read the separate "
QUICK
AUTOMATIC
OPERATION
WI
TH
THE
NIKON
F4
OR
F-
B01INBOOB
."
This explains what you
need to know to use the 88-24 and the newest Nikon 8LRs
in
the most automaitc mode.
You
'
ll
be
surprised how easy that
portion
is
, and you'll get balanced fill-flash pictures,
as
easy
as
point-and-shoot.
4
Then, to learn about all the
88
-24's other great features, take
time to read the complete manual.
Your
reward will be better
flash pictures, with more variety than you ever imagined
pOSSible
, and all done easily.
One additional point. Throughout the manual you will see
technical terms or photo expressions with which you may not
be familiar.
To
help you learn these terms, we've included a
Glossary. 80 if you come upon
an
unfamiliar term, check the
glossary
on
pages
96-97
.
The Nikon N800a and N4004s are sold exclusively
in
the
U.S.A.
The
Nikon N2020 and N2000 are sold exclusively
in
the U.
S.A.
and Canada.
NOTES-------------------------------=~~~~~
·
Do not fire flash near the eyes; doing so may injure the
retina. Do not touch the flash head when firing the S8-24;
it
may be hot
due
to normal operation. Also, be sure
to
keep plastics and other delicate materials away from the
flash head when hot.
Nikon cannot be responsible for malfunctions or other
problems resulting from the use of other manufacturers'
flash units, cameras or accessories, including external
power sources.
In certain cases, due to normal characteristics of the built-
in
microcomputer, the speedlight may not operate or
an
abnormal display may appear, even with fresh, properly
installed batteries. If such a case occurs, turn off the flash
and remove the batteries, then reinstall batteries and turn
the power on. This should properly reset the computer.
"
Red
eye" is a common problem
in
flash photography.
Normally, flash pictures are taken when the surrounding
light is dim, and under such conditions the subject's eye
pupils will be dilated (open very wide). Red-eye effect
occurs when light from the camera's flash reflects off the
interior of the eye and back into the camera's lens. The
wide-open pupil allows much light to enter, and as a result,
the center portions
of
a subject's eyes can appear bright
red (white
in
a black and white picture). It is interesting to
note that the intenSity of the red-eye effect varies among
individuals, and with two people
in
the same photograph,
one may have red-eye and the other may not.
The appearance of red-eye is also based
on
the angle at
which the light flashes on the subject and is reflected back
to the camera's lens. If the angle
is
2 to 2.5 degrees or
narrower, the red-eye will occur. As you move closer to a
subject, the angle becomes wider, and the likelihood of
red-eye effect decreases.
As you move farther from a
subject, the angle narrows and the incidence of red-eye
increases. When you get very far from a subject, the size
of the eye
in
the picture may become so small that red-eye
is not apparent, but when you switch to a lens with a
longer focal length, the subject becomes bigger and
red-
eye may become apparent.
With an angle exceeding 2.5 degrees, red-eye is not likely
to occur. For example, with a 35-55mm range lens and
when standing about 1.4m (4.5
ft) or closer to the subject,
the angle between the flash and lens exceeds 2.5 degrees
and red-eye effect will most likely not be visible.

TTL
AUTO
[I]]
In
this mode, the camera's
TTL
flash sensor measures all the
light which passes through the camera's lens and reflects off
the film surface. This includes both ambient light and light from
the
S8
-
24
flash. The flash shuts off at the moment the sensor
detects the correct exposure. 8ecause the sensor detects light
passing through the lens,
it
automatically adjusts for most flash
shooting situations, including bounce flash, diffusion filters and
colored or neutral-density filters used
on
the lens or
on
the flash
head.
The
S8-24's automatic flash operation depends
on
the Nikon
SLR
model used. The chart
on
the following page indicates the
automatic modes available for each
SLR
model shown.
Subsequent sections of this instruction manual explain each of
the different automatic modes.
Available flash features also vary depending upon the type of
Nikon lens used and camera
on
which it is used. The newest AF
Nikkor lenses include built-in computers, and used with the
newest Nikon
SLR
models (F4, F-801/N8008, F-
401s/N4004s)-
which incorporate a computer and mUlti-segment light
meter-
provide the most advanced flash operation, known as Matrix
8alanced Fill-Flash.

REPEATING
FLASH
lillI
This
mode lets you flash a subject two or more times
consecutively
in
the same frame. It enables you to select the
number of flashes, flash speed (Hz) and
power-either
1/8 or
1/16.
For
detailed instructions on repeating flash, see pages
77
to 80.
FLASH
SYNC
MODE
SEl.!ECTOR-
The S8-24 offers two types of flash synchronization,
REAR
and
NORMAL.
NORMAL synchronization, the way virtually all other systems
operate, fires the flash at the beginning of the exposure.
REAR
synchronization, available with the Nikon
F4
or
F-8011
N8008, fires the flash at the end of the exposure.
For short exposure (speeds up
to
1/250 second) you can barely
tell the difference between the two methods. For longer expo-
sures, however, when subject movement during the exposure
becomes evident, you can clearly see the difference.
Rear synchronization tends to give a more natural effect,
making the blur of subject movement appear to emanate from
the back for a more comfortable visual effect.
For details, see page 48.

READY·lIGHT
INDICATI0NS
--==~=-------
--
---~-----,
With the 58-24 turned
on,
its ready-light turns

the camera viewfinder blinks
in
the cases
listed below. When blinking occurs, check the 58-24's flash
mode selector setting, camera's shutter speed/mode selector
setting and/or film speed setling and adjust
as
necessary.
The
ready-light
will
blink
before
shooting:
- When
58

is
at
TTL with cameras
other than Nikon
F4,
F-801/N8008, F
-5
01lN2020,
F-401s/N4004s, F-301lN2000,
FA
,
FE2,
or
FG.
Reset 58-24's
flash mode selector to A or M.
- When using the
FA,
FE2,
or
FG
to perform TTL auto flash with
the camera's shutter speed dial at a mechanical setting (M250,
M90 or 8). Reset to another shutter speed setting.
To
use
M250, M90 or 8, reset 58-24
's
flash mode selector to A or M.
- When performing programmed TTL auto or TTL auto flash
operation with a camera film speed setting beyond the usable
range. Use film within the appropriate TTL auto flash photog-
raphy range (ISO
25-1000
with F-501/N2020
or
F-301/N2000;
ISO
25-400
with F-401s/N4004s,
FA,
FE2
or
FG).
With the
FA
, the ready-light also blinks when the camera's film speed
setting approaches ISO
12.
- When the shutter speed of the
FE
or FM2
is
not within the
flash sync speed range. Set the shutter speed to the flash
sync speed or slower.
- With Nikon F-401s/N4004s, when the S8-24 and built-
in
flash
are turned off, and the camera's computer recommends flash
use.
After
shooting:
With
the
S8
-24
in
TTL auto or non-TTL auto flash mode, if both
viewfinder ready-light and
S8
-24 ready-light blink for a few
seconds after shooting, the flash has operated at maximum
power. Check the
S8
-24's
LCD
to determine whether you were
standing at a distance beyond the indicated maximum range.
Depending
on
conditions, choose a wider aperture for maximum
flash
range (switch exposure mode to A or M if
it
is set at P or
S),
or move closer to the subject.

EXPOSURE
COMPENSATION-'---------------==---=------=-=
"Correct" exposure is a value based on combinations of
film
sensitivity, aperture and shutter settings necessary to
produce a
"tec
hnically correct" exposure result.
In
prac-
tical
photography, we often want to vary the exposure
results to create different versions of the same picture.
This
is
accomplished by using exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation can be accomplished
in
many
ways
. The accompanying chart indicates controls that
enable compensation with the Nikon S8-24 and the latest
Nikon
SLR
models.
In
addition
to
changing the exposure,
we
can also modify a scene's lighting by manipulating
the
light source, thus creating different lighting effects.

The
following is a brief explanation of the various
compensation methods, including those accomplished
automatically by the camera/flash computer control,
those accomplished through user-controlled operation
and
alternatives which manipulate the lighting
on
a scene.
As
the results can vary depending on individual condi-
tions, you may want to experiment with each method.
Experimenting for creativity is what this is all about.
FLASH
SIDE
COMPENSATION
Computer,
automatic:
Nikon mUlti-segment light meters
using advanced computer programs evaluate a scene's
brightness and contrast and calculate appropriate expo-
sure compensation to accommodate a wide variety of
complex lighting conditions.
Computer,
automatic
plus
manual
adjustment:
auto-
matic control as noted above, but with a user-determined
adjustment to the calculated exposure; accomplished
using the S8-24's
EV
compensation control.
Manual
adjustment:
turn off the camera/S8-24 auto-
matic controls and select any manual adjustment using
the S8-24's
EV
compensation control.
Rear-
or
Front-Curtain
Sync:
not generally referred to
as a compensation method, but can be considered so
because it offers a "different" exposure result.
15
CAMERA
SIDE
COMPENSATION
Manual
control:
adjustment made via the camera's
EV
compensation control; affects the entire exposure, both
available light and light from the flash.
For available compensation range with each film speed, see the
table below.
Automatic
control:
accomplished via the camera's
mUlti-segment metering system; preprogrammed at the
factory according to extensive testing.
Bracketing:
results
in
a variety of different exposures,
both under- and overexposed; can be accomplished
either by using manual adjustments or by using
an
optional multi-control accessory back.
16
LIGHTING
MANIPULATION
Bounce
flash:
can be considered a compensation
method since
it
offers variation to the exposure and
augments available light; light may be bounced off
various surfaces to create different results.
Multiple
flash:
using more than one flash to create
specific lighting patterns
on
the subject. May be used
either
with available light, or to obscure (overpower) the
effects of available light.
Diffusers:
devices placed
in
front of a camera lens to
soften a lighting effect or placed over each flash unit to
modify the quality of the light source.
Indirect
flash:
removing the flash from the camera and
holding
it
to the side, above or from below the subject to
create distinctly different lighting effects. This requires a
special extension cord which allows you to maintain
automatic control.

The
58-24 takes full advantage of the
F4
and
F-801/NSOOS's
built-in
computer, which automatically synchronizes the
camera's shutter speed and lens aperture to provide precisely
controlled exposures. The capability to handle wider brightness
ranges
and use fill-flash under more complex conditions varies
from
automatic operation to more advanced user-controlled
options.
With
the Nikon
F4
or
F-801/NSOOS,
by setting the
58
-24 to TTL
auto
flash mode, you will achieve advanced yet simplified fill-
flash
photography.
You
can choose any of the following flash
categories-Matrix
Balanced Fill-Flash, Center-Weighted Fill-Flash or standard TTL
flash,
according to the 58-24's TTL mode (with or without auto-

FILL-FLASH
PHOTOGRAPHY
26
A backlit subject,
such
as
a
person
outside
with
their back
to
the
sun
,
or
indoors
in
front
of
a
window,
usually
appears
as
a silhouette if
the
exposure
is
set
for
background
brightness.
If
the
exposure
is
set
for
a darker, silhouetted
subject,
then
the
background
will
be
overexposed
and
appear
washed
out.
A better
result
can
be
achieved
by
leaving
the
exposure
set
for
the
brighter
background
and
then
using
the
flash
to
illuminate
the
darker
foreground
subject.
This
brings
the
brightness
of
the
foreground
subject
up
to
the
brightness
of
the
background
.
This
technique
is
called "
fill
-
flash
",
and
the
88-24 together
with
a
Nikon
F4
,
F-801/N8008
or
F·
401
sl
N4004s
provides
all
the
exposure
control
to
automatically
accomplish
fill-flash
.
With flash
Exposure compensated
The
88-24
is
capable
of
several
different automatic
fill-flash
methods
.
The
method
you
choose
depends
on
the
Nikon
8LR
model
you
use
, lighting conditions, subject
movement
and
the
esthetic
qualities
you
wish
to
achieve
. Carefully consider
each
picture
situati
on
.
MATRIX
BALANCED
FILL-FLASH
This
is
a feature
of
Nikon
8LR
models
having
mUlti
-
segment
light
meters
(Matrix meter).
The
camera's
Matrix
meter
reads
the
scene
's light
levels
and
light patterns,
and
signals
the
computer
,
wh
i
ch
then
calculates
the
available-light
exposure
settings
.
When
the
shutter
is
released
,
the
camera's
TTL
sensor
senses
available light
and
flash
illumination,
then
relays
the
information
to
the
computer,
which
automatically controls
the
flash
operation
.
The
computer automatically determines
the
appropriate
amount
of
flash
exposure
compensation
to
use
.
When
the
computer
senses
just
the
right
amount
of
flash
illumination
for
a balanced
fill-flash
exposure
(based
on
the
automat
ic compensation control),
the
flash
is
turned
off.
The
result
is
a
well
-balanced
photo
with
the
correct
exposure
for
both
background
and
foreground subjects.
All
this
takes
place
automatically
and
much
quicker
than
it
can
be
explained
.
Standard TTL Flash
27
CENTER-WEIGHTED
FILL-FLASH
While
the
Matrix meter
can
automatically
measure
up
to
five
different
segments
of
the
scene's
brightness,
the
Center-
Weighted
meter
measures
the
entire
scene
and
emphasizes
its
reading
on
the
center
area
. 8y
pointing
the
center-weighted
area
at
different
parts
of
the
picture,
you
can
choose
which
bright-
ness
level
you
want
for
the
basic available·light
exposure,
as
compared
to
the
Matrix
system
which
uses
computer
evaluation
to
determine
the
brightness/contrast
levels
upon
which
exposure
will
be
based.
If
the
brightness
value
you
have
selected
is
within
the
controlled
shutter/aperture
range
possible,
the
flash
output
compensation
will
be
automatically
set
for
a
natural
fill-flash effect.
The
amount
of
computer selected automatic compensation
available
varies
with
each
Nikon
SLR
model.
For
details, check
your
camera
instruction
manual.
If
you
select a brightness
value
beyond
the
controlled shutter/aperture
range,
the
flash
output
will
be
set
without
compensation,
as
with
standard
TTL
flash
operation
.

FLASH
EXPOSURE
COMPENSATION
Varying the amount of flash,
in
relation to the available-light exposure, creates different
fill-flash effects.
We
say the fill-flash effect
is
balanced when the flash illumination
is
sufficient to brighten the subject to "almost" the brightness
of
the background. Some-
times we want to use a little more or less flash to make the subject a little brighter or
not quite
so
bright.
Your
choice may be based on desired esthetic qualities, or may
be
forced by extremes
in
lighting.
Generally speaking, you don't want to make the subject too bright, you just want to
brighten shadows.
To
achieve a subtle fill-flash effect, you may want to use some
manually selected "minus" compensation. However, when the background
is
ex-
tremely bright, and the subject
is
in
deep shadows, you will probably want to use some
"plus" compensation. While the
58
-2
4
is
quite powerful, whenever using it for fill-flash,
it
is
competing with the sun's
brightness-very
strong competition.
With standard TTL flash (with
~
blinking) you can manually compensate exposure by
adjusting flash output level.
You
can also adjust flash output level for Matr
ix
8alanced
Fill-Flash or Center-Weighted Fill-Flash,
in
combination with the computer
's
automatic
compensation.

REAR-CURTAIN

l
Light
Flows
When used with the
F4
or F-801/N8008, the S8-24 lets you
synchronize the flash to the instant before the rear (second)
curtain begins to close.
Set the S8-24's flash sync mode selector to "REAR." This turns
available light into a stream of light that follows the flash-illumi-
nated moving subject.
Rear-curtain sync flash photography is most effective with
slower shutter speeds. Although the slowest possible shutter
speed for front-curtain sync flash photography
in
TTL mode
(with camera at
PO,
P,
PH
or A) is only 1/60 second, with rear-
curtain sync flash photography, depending
on
the background,
you can sl
ow
the shutter down to 30 seconds.
e
ln
shutter-priority
auto
or
manual
exposure
mode,
be
sure
to
select
an
appropriate shutter
speed.
In

or

confirm shutter

Otherwise,
it could affect

or higher, if the computer's multi
-s
egment sensor detects
that the central subject is darker than the surrounding area by
at least 1.

mending that you should use flash to brighten the picture.
(Note: the S8-24 must
be
turned off for this signal to operate.
The
LED
will not blink with the S8-24
in
ST8Y or
ON
mode.)
Set the camera for Program exposure control and the S8-24 for
TTL exposure control. A balanced fill-flash picture will result,
automatically. It's that easy.

in
the down position.
You
cannot use both speedlights at the same time. Using the
S8-24 relieves the camera's power supply from operating the
built-
in
flash, and you can expect the camera's motor to be able
to power more rolls of film.

EXPOSURE
COMPENSATION
IN
NON-TTL
AUTO
FLASH
·
MODE
The Non-TTL Auto Flash mode works best for subjects of
average (18% gray) reflectance. For very dark subjects,
we
recommend closing the aperture about
1/2
to 1 stop smaller
than indicated
on
the S8-24 LCD. For very
br
ight (almost white)
subjects, it is just the opposite. Open the aperture about
1/2
to
1 stop. Similarly, the automatic system operates best under
average indoor conditions
in
the
home-an
average-size room
having white ceilings approx. 2.5
to
3 meter (8 to
10
feet) high.
In
a very large room, or
in
one with very high ceilings, such as
an auditorium, if you are more than about 4.5 to 6 meters (15 to
20 feet) from the subject, you should experiment by opening the
aperture 1 to 2 stops wider than the
LCD
indicates. Since there
is no way to anticipate any specific condition, you may want to
take a few pictures using exposure bracketing .

flash pictures
in
rapid succession.

MANUAL
FILL-FLASH
Outdoor fill-flash used witll manual mode requires that you
choose the flash-to-daylight ratio that gives the desired effect.
As with automatic fill-flash, your goal
is
to
have the flash
brighten the shadowy areas of the picture, while leaving the
brighter highlights unaffected.
To
do this you must set up your
shot so the flash exposure will be underexposed by at least one
or two f/stops. The following procedure is just a guideline for
experimentation to enable you
to
get your desired effect.

-For
Multiple
Exposure--------------,
For multiple flash exposures on one frame, use the
S8
-24
in
the
IillI mode. The flash can be fired up to eight times on one frame,
and if used in conjunction with the camera body's multiple expo-
sure control, many more flashes can be achieved on the same
frame.
Note that this feature operates only
in
manual exposure
control mode for both the flash and the camera.

Set the flash mode selector to m .
2. Set the flash sync mode selector to NORMAL.

3 Choose B (bulb) setting or a shutter speed long enough to
accommodate all of the flashes you will fire. For example:
10Hz will fire the flash
10
times
in
one second. Firing the flash 5
times at 10Hz takes
1/2 second to occur, so you should set the
shutter to a speed at least as slow as
1/2 second.
Firing the flash
6 times at
8Hz
takes
6/8
second to occur.
However, because your camera does not have a shutter speed
of
6/8
(0.75) second, you should set it to the closest slower
shutter speed, which
is
one second.
As you may have noted: to calculate the speed necessary for
the combination of number of flashes and speed of flashes, you
should divide the number of flashes by the speed of the flashes
(Hz), then convert the fraction to a decimal number and set the
shutter speed that corresponds to the calculated value.
4. Set the ambient light exposure using the manual exposure
control mode.

When making multiple exposures, there are many factors to be
considered.
You
may want to experiment before making the final
exposure.
Background
brightness
If the subject will move across a relatively dark background, the
exposure settings can be
as
indicated by the 88-24
LCD.
If the
background
is
rather bright
in
relation to the subject, however,
the subject will appear faded in the final picture.
We
suggest
you try to underexpose the background to make the subject
stand out.
Subject
overlap
If the flash frequency
is
so fast that each image of the subject
will overlap, the portion of the film where the subjects overlap
will become overexposed.
Try
to choose a flash frequency that
avoids subject overlap or use a smaller aperture to set the
exposure conditions so each exposure of the subject will be
underexposed.
The
overlapped portions will then be less
overexposed, but the non-overlapped portions will be darkened.
This type of experimental photography
is
exciting. For consist-
ently rewarding results, we suggest you keep notes of all
settings and conditions for future reference.

1. Select a ceiling

In
color
photography, only use bounce with white surfacel). Otherwise,
color photographs will come out with
an
unnatural color cast
similar to that of the reflecting surface.
- When tilting the flash head up, be sure to tilt it
60·
(first click-

2. Set the flash mode selector to TTL for TTL auto flash opera-
tion, then tum
on

Bracket your exposures. If possible, take additional shots
with the camera's exposure compensation dial set in the
+
or

N4004s) for TTL auto flash operation, or with the lens
opened up one
or
two f/stops for non-TTL auto flash
operation.
I
USING
A
DIFFUSER
To
diffuse light, place a translucent material, such
as
one
or
more sheets of tracing paper between the flash and the subject.
For optimum results, experiment with different flash-to-diffuser
distances and more than one diffuser. When using a diffuser,
use the 5B-24 in either TTL auto or manual flash mode.
To
protect
the
diffuser
from
burning,
be
sure
it
does
not
come
in
direct contact
with
the
S8-24
s
flash
head.
Avoid
direct reflection
from
the
translucent material
to
the
lens.

MULTIPLE
FLASH
PHOTOGRAPHY-----------~
If
you
have another flash unit, you can use it
as
a secondary light source for multiple flash
photography. When you use only one flash unit
in
front of a subject, harsh shadows may be
produced or light may not reach the back-
ground. Using more than one flash unit helps

S8-22, S8-218,
S8
-20,
S8
-
18
, S8-168 or

connected to
an
F4, F-801/N8008, F-501/N2020, F-401s/N4004s, F-301/N2000,
FA
, FE2
or
FG
camera, and for the slave flash unit(s), use the
S8-24, S8-22,
S8
-218, S8-20, S8-18,
S8
-
17
, S8-16A, S8-168
andlor
S8
-
15
. Up to 5 flash units can be used.
For TTL multiple flash photography, connect the flash units via
the speedlight's TTL multiple flash terminal using optional TTL
Multi-Flash Sync Cord
SC
-
18
(1
.
5m)
andlor
SC
-

(3m).
Because S8-23, S8-22,
S8
-218, S8-20,
S8
-
18
and
S8
-
15
do not
have a TTL multiple flash terminal, it
is
necessary to use TTL
Remote Cord
SC
-
17
or
SC-24* when using these flash units as a
master flash uni
t.
To
use
S8
-22,
S8
-218, S8-20, S8-18 andlor
S8
-
15
as slave flash units, use TTL Multi-Flash Adapter
AS-l0
.
When using S8-140,
S8
-
14
andlor S8-11 for TTL multiple flash
photography, you should also use TTL Remote Cord
SC
-23.
* Used for
F4
with DW-20 or DW-
21
attached.
TTL auto flash is not possible when using Nikon F-401s/N4004s
with
S8-11/14/140 (even with
SC
-23) or S8-218. These speed-
lights cannot be used for TTL multiple flash either, even as slave
flash units.
See system chart
on
the following pages.
Set
the

PHOTOGRAPHY
Connect S8-24 and other flash units via the S8-24's multiple
flash terminal, using optional Nikon Sync Cord
SC-11
or
SC-15.
For correct exposure
in
manual multiple flash operation, be sure
all flash units are set
at
manual flash mode.
Caution:
To
avoid damage to flash
un
its or incorrect operation,
never mix Nikon Speedlights with flash units of other
manufacturers.
For multiple flash photography using Nikon
F4
or
F-801/N8008
, 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 coefficients (numbers shown
in
parenthesis below) for all speedlight's used at anyone
time does not exceed 20 at
20°C/68°F
(13
at 40°C/104°F).

SPEEDLIGHT
CARE
-----------
-
-----\
To
remove smudges, wipe with a soft,
dry silicon-treated or regular cloth.
Never use paint thinner, benzine,
acetone or
alcohol-they
might
damage plastic parts.
Never disassemble or repair the flash
un
it; if the S8-24 malfunctions, take it
immediately to
an
authorized Nikon
dealer or service center.
Keep the S8-24 away from salt-water
and out of the rain.
93
Keep the 88-24 away from high temper-
atures and never store
in
a damp place.
94
When not using the 88-24, remove
batteries to avoid damage due to
battery leakage. If leakage occurs, take
the 88-24 to your nearest authorized
Nikon dealer.
When not using the 88-24, perform the
following once a month:
1.
Install batteries, then turn
on
the
88
-
24.
2. Wait until the ready-light comes on.
3.
Turn
off the
88

then remove the
batteries.
ABOUT
BATTERIES---------------~
New
batteries
Purchase the newest (freshest) batteries possible.
Temperature
Battery life ratings are based
on
operation at 20°C (68°F).
At
other temperatures, battery life
is
shortened. For low-temper-
ature operation, keep spare batteries and if possible, use NiCd
batteries.
Continuous
use
Batteries are drained more quickly by continuous use than by
intermittent use.
Storage
Store batteries
in
a cool, dry place below 20°C (68°F).
Battery
brand
Do not mix battery brands or models, or new and old batteries.
Disposal
Do not dispose of batteries by burning, and never disassemble
batteries.
NiCd
batteries
Compared with regular batteries, NiCd batteries provide faster
recycling time and greater efficiency at low temperatures.
Before charging NiCd batteries, thoroughly read the instructions
for batteries and battery charger.
Batteries with
a
..
+
..
terminal exceeding 6mm
in
diameter
cannot be
used.
DC
Unit

Nikon
DC
Unit
SO-7
can be used
as
an
optional external power
source for more flash capacity and faster recycling.
To
use
it,
connect the

Ts
power cord
SC-16
to the SB-24's external
power terminal.
Even
when powered with the
SO-7
, the SB-24
still requires batteries inside the flash unit. Do not remove the
batteries.
In
continuous shooting using the external power source

GLOSSARY------------------------~
~~~~~~
~
Balanced
fill-flash
operation
A method of flash photography which combines flash illumina-
tion and ambient light, and keeps flash brightness
in
balance
with the ambient light.
Center-Weighted
Metering
An
SLR
light meter, orginated by Nikon, which concentrates its
sensitivity
on
the center portion
of
the camera
's
viewing area.
CPU
Central Processing Unit: the electronic component which
controls equipment functions.
Exposure
compensation
For flash: exposure compensation refers to
an
adjustment,
either automatically or manually set, that enables the user to
vary the flash output from standard TTL operation.
For available light: exposure compensation refers to any
adjustment of either shutter or aperture which results
in
an
exposure change from the normal measured exposure settings.
96
Exposure
control
for
available
light
·Programmed: the automatic exposure system controlling both
the camera's shutter and the lens' aperture.
Shutter priority: user selects shutter speed and automatic
system chooses aperture for correct exposure.
Aperture priority: user selects aperture and automatic system
chooses shutter speed for correct exposure.
Manual: user follows the meter's recommendations for shutter
and aperture settings.
Fill-flash
A method of flash photography which combines flash illumina-
tion and ambient light, but does not necessarily attempt to
balance the two types
of
illumination.
Flash
synchronization
The
timing of the flash so it fires coincident with the operation
of
the camera's shutter. There are two types of synchronization:
NORMAL, which fires the flash at the start of the exposure, and
REAR
synchronization, which fires the flash at the end of the
exposure.
Guide
number
A calculated number which indicates the relative power of a
flash unit.
Hertz
Abbreviated
Hz,
a unit of measurement equalling one cycle per
second.
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display: the visible display which shows
information
on
the back of the 88-24 and
in
some camera
finders.
Matrix Metering
System
An
advanced camera light metering system using a
mUlti
-
segment sensor and computer; available in Nikon 8LR models
F4
and F-801/N8008. A basic version
is
used with the Nikon
F-401/N4004 and
F-401s/N4OO4s
models. Matrix Metering
is
an
exclusive Nikon feature.
Non-TTL
Auto
A sensor measures illumination without viewing through the
camera's lens.
Red-eye
A phenomena caused by the reflection of light off the inside of
the eye, resulting
in
red spots appearing
in
a subject's eye
in
color photographs. This effect
is
not caused by equipment, but
rather by the relative position
of
the flash
in
relation to the
subject and the camera's lens.
Red
-eye
is
not always
predictable.
SLR
Single Lens Reflex: a type of camera
in
which you look through
the camera's lens as you view through the camera finder. Other
camera functions, such
as
light meter and flash control, also
operate viewing through the camera's lens.
Standard
TTL
flash
operation
The
flash output achieved when using TTL flash control for
automatic flash exposure operation. This system predates
balanced fill· flash systems and does not have any special
provision for balancing flash and ambient light.
TTL
Auto
Camera's light meter system measures illumination viewing
through the camera's taking lens.
