Manual flash mode
The SB-30’s flash output level can be set manually at M1/1, M1/8, or M1/32. In the Manual mode, you must determine the correct exposure by calculation using a combination of the guide number, shooting distance, and lens aperture.
• If the camera’s exposure mode is set to other than Aperture-Priority Auto (A) or Manual (M), the shutter may not be released, depending on the cameras in use.

• To obtain the correct exposure, use the following equations to determine the aperture and guide number to match the flash shooting distance.
f/stop (aperture) = Guide number (GN) ÷ Shooting distance (m/ft)
Guide number (GN) = Aperture x Shooting distance (m/ft)
• For example, when shooting a subject at a distance of 2.5m (8.2 ft), at an ISO sensitivity of 400 and a lens aperture of f/2.8:
Guide number = 2.8 x 2.5 = 7 (in meters) or 2.8 x 8.2 = approx. 23 (in feet).
Therefore M1/8 is the correct flash output level with the wide-flash adapter in place.
• Likewise, when shooting a subject at a distance of 4m (13 ft.), at an ISO sensitivity of 400 and M1/1 flash output level without using the wide-flash adapter: f/stop = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 (in meters) or 105 ÷ 13 = approx. 8 (in feet). Therefore, f/8 is the correct lens aperture.

Taking flash pictures in the Manual flash mode
1 3 4
1
Set the camera’s exposure mode, sync mode, shutter speed, etc.
2
Determine the aperture and flash output level to match the flash shooting distance.
• The guide number varies as shown in the guide number table on page 18, depending on the flash output level with and without the wide-flash adapter in place.
3
Set the aperture on the camera or lens and the flash output level on the SB-30.
4
Make sure the SB-30’s ready-light is on, then shoot.
• In the Manual flash mode, no warning ready-light blinks to indicate that the light may have been insufficient for correct exposure after shooting.
