Manual Multiple Flash Photography

Connect the S8 -22 and other flash units with the optional Nikon Sync Cord SC-11 or SC-15 via the S8-22's multiple flash terminal.

For correct exposure in manual multiple flash opera- tion, be sure all flash units are set at manual flash mode.

Caution

To avoid damaging the flash units or incorrect operation, never mix Nikon Speedlight with flash units of other manu- fa cturers.

AVOIDING "RED EYE'---'

"Red eye" is a common phenomenon in flash photog- raphy where the center portions of a subject's eyes appear as bright red orbs in color photographs, or white in black-and-white pictures.

To avoid " red eye;'take any or all of the following pre- cautions :

Ask the subject not to look directly into the lens when the picture is taken.

Using a sync cord or TTL Remote Cord SC-17, remove the flash unit from the camera and hold it as far away from the camera as possible.

-Increase the overall room illumination to reduce opening of the subject 'spupils.
