1Close-up flash operation

Wireless close-up flash operation is possible when the SU-800 and SB-R200 are used with CLS-compatible cameras. The SB-R200 can be attached to the front of the lens, held in your hand, or freely positioned by using the Speedlight Stand AS-20. The flexibility of close-up flash operation sets it apart from conventional lighting systems.

Group A

SB-R200

Dual-light close-up flash operation (one flash unit attached to the front of the lens + one held in the hand)

With one SB-R200 attached to the front of the lens, the subject in front is strongly illuminated, while a second SB-R200 held in the hand illuminates the subject from the left to soften harsh shadows and further highlight the subject, in this case a ladybug.

Example B

B-1

Dual-light close-up flash operation (one flash unit attached to the front of the lens + one held in the hand)

With one SB-R200, held in the hand, used as the main flash unit, the subject is strongly illuminated from the lower left, while a second SB-R200 attached to the front of the lens is used to illuminate the subject from the upper right to emphasize the contours of the flower’s petals, resulting in softened textures.
