vNotes on performing wireless multiple flash photography

To avoid accidental firing, turn off the camera and all flash units before mounting the master flash unit on or connecting it to the camera.

The master flash unit cannot be test-fired.

The brightness of the flash illumination is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the flash unit and the subject. For example, if the distance between Speedlight A and the subject is 1 m (3.3 ft.), and Speedlight B is 2 m (6.6 ft.) and both A and B have the same guide numbers, the combined brightness of the two Speedlights will be:

A : B = 1 : 4 (in meters) or approx. 11 : 44 (in feet)

See the instruction manuals of your cameras and Speedlights.

Notes on remote flash

Take care of the following.

vNotes on setting a remote flash unit

When using a Speedlight that has a standby function as a remote flash unit, make sure that the standby function is set to “OFF,” or select a standby duration that is long enough in the custom setting.

The standby function of the SB-900, SB-800, SB-600 and SB-80DX is canceled when wireless remote flash mode is set. Make sure that there is sufficient battery power.

The SB-50DX’s standby duration is automatically extended to approx. one hour when it is set to wireless remote flash mode.

Set the angle of coverage of the remote flash units wider than the picture angle, 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 angle of coverage wide enough to achieve sufficient light.

vNotes on 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 of the remote flash unit(s). This is particularly important when holding a remote flash unit in your hand.

Data communication cannot be performed properly if there is an obstacle between the master unit and remote flash units.
