Multiple flash shooting using cords

The SB-600 can be used with Speedlights compatible with the TTL auto flash
mode to perform multiple flash shooting using cords.

• 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
by using the Custom Settings.

• Use of the SB-50DX and SB-23 as remote flash units is not recommended, because the

standby function cannot be canceled.

• Speedlights SB-11, SB-14, SB-140, and SB-21B cannot be used with the F-401/N4004

or F-401s/N4004s as either master or remote flash units.

• There is no limitation in usable cameras.
• With cameras compatible with CLS and digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, Manual

flash operation only is possible.

Be sure to cancel the master flash unit’s Monitor
Preflashes setting

When shooting with multiple flash using cords in the TTL mode, cancel the
master flash unit’s Monitor Preflashes setting by following one of the methods
described below. Monitor Preflashes can cause incorrect exposures.

• Set the SU-4 type wireless multiple

flash mode

• Set the wireless flash mode.

• Set the flash mode to Standard TTL

flash.

• Tilt the flash head up.
• Use a non-CPU lens.

• Set the camera’s exposure mode to

Manual (M)

• Cancel the master flash unit’s Monitor Preflashes setting when performing

SU-4 type wireless multiple flash operation using the SB-600 as a master
flash unit. For details, refer to instruction manuals provided with the Wireless
Slave Flash Controller SU-4 and Speedlights (such as SB-800) featuring SU-4
