uMonitor Preflashes

The SB-600 fires a series of imperceptible Monitor Preflashes just before the flash fires so that the camera can obtain necessary information on the subject. This applies to situations when the SB-600 is used with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS and cameras in Group I with a CPU lens, and the flash mode is set to TTL auto flash.

•Monitor Preflashes are fired instantaneously and cannot be differentiated from the main flash.

•When Monitor Preflashes are fired, H appears on the LCD panel (when using a single flash unit). For cameras in Group I, however, Monitor Preflashes are not fired when the

SB-600's flash head is adjusted to other than the horizontal/front position or the camera's flash sync mode is set to rear-curtain sync, even when H appears on the LCD panel.
