Sensor Unit SU-2 ©
The plug-in Sensor Unit SU-2 controls the operation of
the SB-11 Speedlight. It has five settings to choose from.
At the Auto Positions
To shoot on Auto, lift up and turn the knurled ring on the
outside of the sensor to one of the three positions (orange,
yellow, or blue) which are color-coded for use with the
exposure calculator dial. At these settings, the SB-11 is
able to vary its light output automatically to match the
flash-to-subject distance.
At the S (Slave) Position
At this setting, the SB-11 emits a modulated burst of light
which can trigger a second electronic flash. The remote
flash unit is attached to the receiver portion of the optional
Modulite Remote Control Unit ML-1 (which is set to
Channel 2), while the SB-11 Speedlight acts as the
transmitter.
At the M (Manual) Position
Set the SU-2 to the M setting and the SB-11 operates
manually at its maximum light output regardless of the
flash-to-subject distance. In this case, you have to calcu
late the exposure manually by referring to the exposure
calculator dial. See page 17 for more information.
