This document describes the features of the Nikon Speedlight SB-10, including its lightweight and compact design, as well as its advanced circuitry. The flash utilizes a series-circuit configuration with silicon-controlled rectifiers to retain unused charge in the capacitor for ultra-rapid recycling. In automatic operation, the flash has a recycling time of less than 1 second at a distance of 1 meter and an aperture of f/4 (ASA 100 film speed). The flash also offers multiple flash operation and manual exposure override.
This manual provides step‑by‑step instructions for setting up the Nikon SB‑10 Speedlight, including battery installation, mounting the unit on compatible Nikon cameras, and using the built‑in ready‑light contact. It also covers flash synchronization methods, automatic and manual exposure operation, and how to use the exposure calculator and reflector.
The specifications section lists the guide number, coverage angles, power source, dimensions, and weight. Accessories such as the wide‑flash adapter and battery holder are described, and a camera/speedlight combination chart helps users match the SB‑10 with various Nikon bodies. This manual is written in Chinese.
