Synchronization in continuous shooting

The SB-27 is able to recycle fast enough to synchronize with a motor-driven camera firing continuously up to 15 flashes per second. It is possible to take up to four full flash pictures in rapid succession at a light output ranging from 1/8 to 1/16 (using the SB-27’s internal batteries) in Manual (M) Flash mode.

Number of continuous flash (frames) in Manual (M) Flash mode

Power source		Light output
	1/8		1/16
AA-type alkaline-manganese	4		8
(four sets) inside the SB-27
Optional external power source
SD-7 + AA-type alkaline-manganese	6		10
(four sets) inside the SB-27
Optional external power source
SD-8/8A + AA-type alkaline-manganese	5		10
(four sets) inside the SB-27

Note: The maximum number of flashes may vary with the type of battery and the ambient temperature.

Allow the Speedlight to cool off for at least 10 minutes after continuous firing (see the table below). Overuse generates heat that could shorten the life of the Speedlight.

Safety range in continuous firing

SB-27's light output	Max. number of flashes
AUTO and Manual (M) mode at 1/1 or 1/2	15
light output
Manual (M) mode at 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 light output	40

We recommend letting the flash unit cool off after any level of intensive use.
