System chart for TTL multiple flash shooting using cords

With the F6, it is not possible to use Auto FP High-Speed Sync and FV Lock operation at the same time.

Speedlights SB-11, SB-14, SB-140, and SB-21B cannot be used with the F-401/N4004 or F-401s/N4004s as either master or remote flash units.
