TTL Multi·Flash Sync Cords SC·18 and SC·19

The SC-18 and/or SC-19 are used to connect the flash units together for TTL multiple flash operation . The SC- 18 is 1.5m long, while the SC-19 is 3m.

Flash Tripod Adaptor AS·11

The AS-11 enables the S8-16A. used as a slave flash unit, to be attached to a tripod . Also, it prevents the S8- 16A ready-light from blinking for no reason and lets you see when the flash is ready to fire

and whether or not the flash fired at its maximum output.

TTL Multi·Flash Adaptor AS·10

When you plan to perform TTL multiple flash operation with more than three flash units or to use the S8-15 or S8-18 as a slave flash unit, the AS-10 is required. With one AS-10 having three TTL multiple flash terminals, you can use up to three slave flash units including one mounted on it.

A tripod socket at the bottom enables the S8-168 mounted on the AS-10 to be fixed to a tripod . To per- form TTL flash photography with two units using the S8- 168 as a slave flash unit or to perform TTL photography with three units using the S8-168 as a master flash unit mounted on the SC-1?, use of the AS-10 is not always needed. Without the AS-10, however, the electrical con- tacts on the flash unit are uncovered

and can be the cause of incorrect output control.

Flash Unit Couplers AS·1, 4, 5, 6, and 7

The AS-1 , AS -4, or AS-? convert the accessory shoe of a Nikon F2 - or F3-series camera to the standard ISO-type accessory shoe, allowing direct attachment of the S8-

168.The AS-1 is for the F2-series camera and the AS-4 and? are for the F3 -series camera. A special feature of the AS -? is that it lets you change film without removing the flash unit.

The AS-6, on the other hand, is used when you want to mount the S8 -16A directly on the Nikon FA, FE2, FM2, FE, F-501/N2020, F-301/N2000, FG, FG-20, EM or FM camera. To mount the S8-16A on an F2-series camera, the AS-5 is required .
