1Commander flash operation
The Commander function enables the SU-800 to act as a Commander unit to trigger remote flash units without firing itself. By rearranging the remote flash setups, you can enjoy rendering a variety of lighting effects.
Triple-light flash operation
Three flash units positioned at different locations are used in order to represent the color and textures of the overall table setting. The SB-800 is used as a main flash unit to provide strong illumination on the table from the upper left. SB-R200 units on both the right and left sides eliminate the shadows. In this way, a much more vivid rendition of food and dishes on the periphery of the table is created.

Two SB-R200 units on the right and left are used directly from the top to clearly represent the color and contours of dishes on a plate. In addition, another SB-R200 is used from the rear left with reduced flash output to render a steaming dish of hot food against a dark background.
