With the SU-800
•In most cases, position the SB-R200 closer to the subject than the camera, so that light from the Commander flash unit (such as camera or Speedlight) can reach the light sensor of the remote flash unit(s). This is particularly necessary when holding a remote flash unit in your hand.
•Data communication cannot be performed properly if there is an obstacle between the Commander unit and the SB-R200.
•The effective shooting distance between the Commander and the SB-R200 varies depending on the Commander unit (such as a camera or Speedlight) in use. Refer to the instruction manual of each product.
•Be sure to place all SB-R200 units that are set in the same group close together.
•Take care not to let light from the SB-R200 enter the camera lens directly or indirectly in TTL auto flash mode. Otherwise, the correct exposure cannot be obtained.
•There is no limit to the number of SB-R200 units that can be used together. However, if too much light from other SB-R200 units enters the light sensor of the Commander unit, correct operation may be impossible. In practice, the number of remote flash units should be limited to three for one group.
•Be sure to test fire after setting up all flash units (p. 88).
