Commander flash operation
The Commander function enables the SU-800 to act as a Commander unit to
trigger remote flash units without firing itself. By rearranging the remote flash
setups, you can enjoy rendering a variety of lighting effects.
Example D D-1
Triple-light flash operation
Three flash units positioned at different
locations are used in order to represent the
color and textures of the overall table
setting. The SB-800 is used as a main flash
unit to provide strong illumination on the
table from the upper left. SB-R200 units on
both the right and left sides eliminate the
shadows. In this way, a much more vivid
rendition of food and dishes on the
periphery of the table is created.

Example D D-3
Triple-light flash operation
Two SB-R200 units on the right and left are
used directly from the top to clearly
represent the color and contours of dishes
on a plate. In addition, another SB-R200 is
used from the rear left with reduced flash
output to render a steaming dish of hot food
against a dark background.
