To turn the flash on, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. The LCD panel will illuminate. To turn off, slide the switch to 'OFF'. The flash may enter a standby mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.

The SB-24 offers several flash modes to suit different shooting conditions:

• מצב TTL (דרך העדשה): This is the standard automatic exposure mode. The flash output is automatically controlled based on light measurements taken through the camera's lens, ensuring balanced exposure.
• מצב ידני: Allows you to manually set the flash output power (e.g., Full, 1/2, 1/4, etc.). This mode provides precise control for specific lighting setups.
• Auto Aperture (A) Mode: The flash automatically adjusts output based on the aperture set on the flash unit and the subject distance.
• סנכרון וילון אחורי: Synchronizes the flash to fire just before the second curtain closes, creating natural-looking light trails behind moving subjects.
• הפחתת עיניים אדומות: Fires a series of pre-flashes to constrict the subject's pupils, reducing the red-eye effect.
