• Minimum recycling time is for operation using fresh batteries.

• This data was measured without using the wide-area AF-assist illuminator, zoom-head

position adjustment, or LCD panel illumination.

• The above data may vary due to variations in battery performance.

Replacing/recharging the batteries

Refer to the following table to determine when to replace or recharge your

batteries, if the ready-light takes a long time to come on.

Type of battery Recycling time Remedy

Alkaline-manganese More than 30 seconds

Lithium More than 10 seconds Replace

Nickel More than 10 seconds

Ni-Cd (rechargeable)

More than 10 seconds Recharge

Ni-MH (rechargeable)

If extremely exhausted batteries are used, a strange sound can be heard caused by the

flash head zooming back and forth even when the SB-800 is turned off. In this case,

replace the SB-800’s batteries even if an external battery source is used.

t External power sources

Using an optional external power source increases the number of flash firings

and provides faster recycling times (p. 113).
