WIRELESS FLASH
When using the “Wireless Flash” mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional feeling with
shadow, or you can produce natural images with shadow depending on the flash position without any
extension cord connecting the camera body to the flash. In case of the EF-530 DG SUPER NA-iTTL,
communication between the camera body and the flash will be achieved by the light of the flash. In the
“Wireless Flash” mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically.
◆
This function is available with CLS compatible cameras only.
◆
It is possible to use the built-in flash of D70(D70s), D80 and D200 with wireless photography.
◆
In these instructions, we call a flash unit, which is attached to the camera body the “Master unit ”, and we call
a flash unit at a remote position a “Slave unit”.
◆
When setting a slave unit at the desired position, you can use a mini-stand. This mini-stand has a screw hole for a tripod.
◆
Place the slave flash unit at the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
◆
Set the flash unit within the range of 0.5m/1.5ft~5m/16ft from the subject and set the camera body within the
range of 1m/3ft~5m/16ft from the subject.
◆
Two or more sets of Slaves can be divided into groups and different flash conditions can be set for each group
(1~3). The Master Flash should be set at 0.
◆
Channel and group number settings can be input on the master unit and slave units. Other settings can be
input on the master flash unit only.

Group 1 flashguns and Group B corresponds to Group 2 flashguns. When using the built-in flash unit of
the D70 for wireless photography, set the channel number to C3 and group number to 1. For the rest of
