Nikon SB-28 Home Safety Product User Manual


 
% guide numbers vary with the ISO film speed, shutter speed, and zoom-
head position.
• For film speeds other than ISO 100, multiply the guide numbers by the
factors shown in the above chart.
For example, for a film speed of ISO 400, with the zoom-head adjusted to 35mm,
and a shutter speed of 1/500 sec., the % guide number is 12 x 2 = 24 (m), or
39 x 2 = 78 (ft).
