1 Set the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-
Priority Auto (A) or Manual (M).
2 Attach the master flash unit to the camera,
turn the power on, and set the flash mode to
TTL auto flash.
nAvailable TTL auto flash modes are Matrix Balanced
Fill-Flash, Center-Weighted Fill-Flash/Spot Fill-Flash,
and Standard TTL flash.
For the usable camera/lens/exposure mode/metering
system combination, see page 36.
n3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash and Multi-Sensor
Balanced Fill-Flash cannot be used, because monitor
preflashes are fired.
nD-TTL multiple flash shooting using cords is not
possible with digital SLRs cameras.
3 Turn off all the flash units before connecting the
master flash unit to the slave flash units using
optional TTL Remote Cords SC-18 or SC-19.
4 Turn on all slave flash units and set the flash
mode on all slave flash unit to TTL auto flash.
5 Confirm the aperture and flash shooting distance
range as in normal TTL auto flash shooting, then
shoot.
nSee page 28 about the TTL auto flash mode.
nWhen the flash has fired at its maximum output and
underexposure may have occurred, the ready-light
on the SB-80DX blinks for approx. 3 sec. To
compensate, use a wider aperture or move closer to
the subject and reshoot.
