Flash shooting in Advanced Wireless Lighting
Mechanism of the Advanced Wireless Lighting
When the SB-900 is used with Nikon CLS-compatible cameras, Advanced Wireless
Lighting is possible. In this mode, you can divide the remote flash units into
three groups and set the flash mode and flash output level compensation values
separately for each group as well as the master flash unit. This is defined as Flash
Shooting in the Advanced Wireless Lighting.
To take photos with repeating flash, see custom setting. (kC-22)
For more details on the example photos in Advanced Wireless Lighting, see the
separate booklet, “A collection of example photos” Pp. 16-19. •

Remote flash units can be set up to a maximum of three groups (A, B, C).
Single or several remote flash units can be allocated for one group.
For a total of four groups including the master and other remote flash units in
three groups, you can set the flash mode and flash output level compensation
values separately for each group.
Select one of the four available channels through which the master and remote
flash units exchange data.
If another photographer uses the same type of wireless remote flash setup close
by, your remote flash units may accidentally fire in sync with that photographer’s
master flash unit. To avoid this, use a different channel number. •
