Illuminating a distant subject using the SB-30 and cameras such as the COOLPIX
Wireless slave flash shooting
In this section, the SB-30 is used as a slave flash unit that starts and stops firing in sync with the master Speedlight mounted on the camera or the camera’s built-in Speedlight. With the SB-30, the following types of wireless slave flash shooting can be performed.
•The Standby function does not work if the Mode selector dial is set to the Wireless slave flash mode. Take care that the power remains on and is consuming.
Shooting a distant subject using cameras such as the COOLPIX that have a built-in Speedlight (P. 22) By placing the camera and the SB-30side-by-side to fire the SB-30 in sync with the built-in Speedlight, you can illuminate a distant subject, creating a picture not possible when using the built-in flash by itself.
Using the SB-30 as a slave flash unit placed away from the camera (p. 24)
In multiple flash, when the SB-30 is used away from the camera, you can create more natural-looking pictures with sufficient illumination throughout the picture.
Softening shadows cast on the wall by the master flash unit or lightening the background (p. 26) By using the SB-30 at full (M1/1) output, you can eliminate unattractive shadows or lighten the background to create more natural-looking pictures.
Multiple flash operation using the infrared remote commander (p. 27)
With the built-in infrared filter in place, the SB-30 operates as an infrared remote commander to trigger
