Remote Flash Units

Remote flash unit setting

The standby function of the SB-700, SB-900, SB-800, SB-600 and SB-R200 is canceled when remote mode is set. Make sure that there is sufficient battery power.

Set the zoom head position of the remote flash units wider than the image area, so that the subject will receive sufficient illumination even when the angle of the flash head is off axis from the subject. When the flash-to-subject distance is very short, set the zoom head position wide enough to achieve sufficient light.

Setting up the remote flash units

In most cases, position the remote flash unit(s) closer to the subject than the camera, so that light from the master flash unit can reach the light sensor window for wireless remote flash of the remote flash unit(s). This is particularly important when holding a remote flash unit in the hand.
