What is close-up flash operation

The SU-800 can perform close-up flash operation to wirelessly control the SB-R200 flash operation when mounted on CLS-compatible cameras.

Two types of close-up flash operations are available: (1) Dual-light close-up flash operation (the SB-R200 units are divided into two groups (A, B)), and (2) triple- light close-up flash operation (the SB-R200 units are divided into three groups (A, B, C)).

Press and hold the [SEL](FUNC.) button for approx. 2 seconds to toggle between “dual-light” and “triple-light” close-up flash operations.
