Right. FM2 has no TTL, so set the SB28 to Non-TTL Auto [A], set a desired aperture on the flash, set the same aperture on the camera, then shoot. Make sure the ISO on the flash and camera matches as well.Originally posted by ziploc
Hmm... FM2 is a manual camera right? Not sure whether it support TTL or not. If not, got to set the SB28 on Auto mode, or do it the good old way - use manual mode.
yup fully manual.. and it doesn't support TTL.Originally posted by ziploc

Yup you can. Do it like what ckiang described. Set flash to Auto mode, set the ISO, and set the aperture. You'll also need to zoom the flash manually if you are using zoom lens.Originally posted by zhapchit

So can i still use Auto?
Guys, please correct me if I am wrong. A flash's guide number is calculated as follow:Originally posted by kamwai
can someone tell me how the ISO and aperture will affect the flash?
Simple way.Originally posted by zhapchit
Another question ...
if i'm using Auto / Manual mode... how do i use it as a fill flash?
In this case, since its not TTL... the flash needs to know how much light to output. The flash need to know the sensitivity of the film and the amount of light that is entering the camera. Then it fires a preflash (I guess) and judge the reflection of the subject and then emitts a flash that should correctly expose the pic taking the sensitivity of the film and the aperture into consideration.Originally posted by kamwai
