Monitor Preflashes
The SB-800 fires a series of imperceptible Monitor Preflashes just before the
flash fires to obtain information on the subject in these cases:
(1) when the SB-800 is used with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs
not compatible with CLS, cameras in Group I with a CPU lens, and
COOLPIX cameras compatible with i-TTL, and flash mode is set to TTL
auto flash, and
(2) when the SB-800 is used with cameras compatible with CLS with a CPU
lens, and the flash mode is set to Auto Aperture flash.
Monitor Preflashes are fired instantaneously and cannot be differentiated from
the main flash, but

appears on the LCD panel (using a single flash unit).
However, for cameras in Group I, Monitor Preflashes are not fired when the
SB-800’s flash head is adjusted to other than the horizontal/front or down to –7°
position, or the camera’s flash sync mode is set to Rear-curtain sync, even
when
H
appears on the LCD panel.
