Nikon Flash advice

I recently found a Nikon SB-24 flash in my loft! My father-in-law gave me his old Nikon SLR kit but I never noticed the flash being there. Anyway, I am trying to use it with my Nikon F50 and managed to download a copy of the original manual. The Manual covers a few Nikon SLRs from the same era as the flash (circa. 1988) but not the F50.

I have never used a dedicated flash. On the F50, only the TTL functions seems to be compatible with the as if I try to use the "A" or "M" function, the camera tells me that there is a TTL error. The zoom on the flash as well as the aperature settings are still adjustable. Am I right in thinking that in TTL, it is works in an automated way with the camera, so thise adjusments do not matter.

I hope my query is not too confusing. If it is, it demonstrates my feeling! Any asistance will be well received :ty:
 
This link should give you all the compatability modes with the F50.
Not looking good im afraid but you might get some use out of it.

Will this flash work better with a F90X body?

Thanks.
