Nikon SB-10 instruction manual Multiple Flash Operation

MULTIPLE FLASH OPERATION

Note the following instructions when perform- ing mUltiple flash photography with the Nikon Speedlight SB-2, 3, 4, 5, 7E, 8E, and 10 flash units.

•These Nikon Speedlight units employ a spe- cial low-voltage triggering circuit to prevent electric shock and damage on the hot-shoe contact. We do not recommend mixing Nikon Speedlight units with flash units of other makes for multiple flash photography, unless you use slave sensors for remote triggering. Otherwise, incorrect operation and /or damage to the unit may result.

•Be sure to set the shooting mode selector to 'manual.' If the selector is set on 'auto,' cor- rect exposure cannot be assured.

•With the SB-2 or SB-7E flash unit mounted on the camera's hot shoe, you may use the flash unit's sync socket. However, with the SB-3, SB-8E and SB-lO, you cannot.

•When the camera is not fitted with a hot shoe, the flash unit has to be connected to the camera via the sync cord. Consequently, sync connection is not possible for mUltiple flash use. In this case, use slave sensors for trigger- ing the remote flash .

•The units may trigger inadvertently whi le you are connecting them. This is normal and is no cause for concern.
