Available flash modes for multiple flash shooting
using cords
m Multiple flash shooting using cords can be performed in two ways:
(1) TTL multiple flash and (2) Manual multiple flash.
nPerforming multiple flash shooting in the Manual mode is not recommended, since it is
difficult to obtain the correct exposure. Use the TTL auto flash mode with cameras
compatible with TTL auto flash.
nManual flash is possible with all Nikon cameras, including Digital SLRs cameras.
nUse of the SB-50DX and SB-23 as slave flash units is not recommended, because the
standby function cannot be canceled.
nEven when a master flash unit is used off-camera, the shutter speed is automatically set
through the optional TTL Remote Cord SC-17 in the TTL auto flash mode.
