Flash Output Range

The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in

terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For

example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-

0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3,

1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.

Optic S1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual flash mode, press <

S1/S2

> button so that this flash can

function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this

function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires,

the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create

multiple lighting effects.

Optic S2 Secondary Unit Setting

Press <

S1/S2

> button so that this flash can also function as an optic

S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M manual flash mode. This

is useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this function,

the flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the main flash and will

only fire in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit.

S1 and S2 optic triggering and off camera high-speed mode

are only available in M manual flash mode.

Manual Off Camera High-speed Setting

In M manual flash mode, press <

> button to select high-speed

mode and

is displayed.

SYNC

If you set a shutter speed as 1/320s (Auto FP) or 1/250s

(Auto FP) in the Nikon camera setting, <

> will be

displayed in the flash screen regardless of practical shutter

speed.

With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the

shorter the effective flash range.

To return to normal flash, set the flash sync speed to other

options other than Auto FP. Then the icon <

> will

disappear when pressing the shutter halfway.

Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.

Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15

consecutive high-speed sync flashes.

High-Speed Sync

High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all

camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use

aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.

Select the high-speed sync icon <

>.

Second-Curtain Sync

With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the

subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.

Set the camera to Rear mode

and press the shutter button

halfway, then the flash display

panel will show the second

curtain sync icon <

>.

When the camera is not set to

Rear mode, pressing the shutter

button halfway will not light up

the icon <

> on the flash

display panel.

Set the flash sync speed to

1/320s (Auto FP) or 1/250s

(Auto FP) in the Nikon camera

menu. Press the shutter button

halfway. The icon <

>

displayed on the flash screen

means the high speed sync

function is enabled on the flash.

Turning the camera command

dial can set the shutter speed to

1/250s or faster.

To check if the FP flash function

works properly, look through the

shutter speed in the viewfinder.

If it shows a speed of 1/250s or

faster, the FP flash function is

on work.
