position settings: 24mm, 28mm, 35mm and 50mm.

Cameras in Groups I and II with Nikkor lenses with built-in CPU
The SB-27 automatically adjusts the zoom-head position to provide
an angle of coverage that matches the focal length of the lens in
use. (Automatic zoom-head positioning)
—When using a Nikkor lens with built-in CPU whose focal length is below
or above the SB-27's available range, the zoom-head automatically
adjusts to the closest focal length setting.
Note: Automatic zoom-head positioning is not possible if a small M
appears above the ZOOM. Press the “ZOOM” button several times
until the M disappears ➀.

position manually:

button and set the desired zoom-head position manually.
