The Concept

Innovative i-TTL ﬂash control

Working photographers around the world are discovering how

the Creative Lighting System (CLS) brings simplicity and real-

world usability to both multiple-ﬂash and single-ﬂash photogra-

phy. At the core of the innovation are Nikon’s i-TTL ﬂash control

technology and the precision monitor pre-ﬂash, which work

together for accurate ﬂash exposures. Here is how multiple

wireless lighting works: with i-TTL mode activated, the master

Speedlight that is hot-shoed to the camera will send signals to

remote units, ordering them to pre-ﬂash the scene. Through the

lens, the camera analyzes what it sees in the scene, constantly

adjusting the pre-ﬂash output of independent remote units.

Once it measures the correct exposure for the entire scene,

it determines the ﬂash output value — all from the centralized

point-of-view of the camera. In nearly any lighting situation,

i-TTL ﬂash control will perform all the complex lighting calcula-

tions for you. The precise feedback information from Nikon’s

exclusive monitor pre-ﬂash registers everything from available

light and shadows to color temperature and reﬂective surfaces

within the scene. The camera also integrates information from

its built-in database of over 30,000 actual scenes to determine

the ideal exposure. All of this happens within milliseconds

before each shutter release. Whether on top of a camera or

used as a wireless remote unit, CLS

offers the most dependable and consis-

tent ﬂash exposure in the business.

Advanced Wireless Lighting — intuitive, ﬂuid operation of

multiple remote Speedlights

One of the greatest beneﬁts of CLS is that

controlling multiple Speedlights is just as

easy as controlling a single, on-camera

Speedlight. What’s more, the system is

wireless, so setting up your Speedlights

can be done quickly and smoothly no

matter where you’re shooting. From the

master Speedlight connected to the hot-

shoe of your camera, you can control the

ﬂash output of up to three groups of wire-

less remote ﬂash units, adding any number

of Speedlights to each group. Simply set

everything to Nikon’s exclusive i-TTL for

accurate exposures in diverse lighting situations. You can also

explore alternate exposures by using the master ﬂash unit to

adjust the ﬂash exposure compensation of individual Speedlight

groups. Turn off any of the Speedlight groups, or for more direct

control you can ﬂuidly switch from i-TTL to manual. All opera-

tions can be achieved easily via the LCD panel on the master

Speedlight, and all of these are possible without ever leaving

your camera. Multiple Speedlight control has never been this

intuitive or ﬂuid. No other lighting system comes close.

CLS makes controlling remote multiple Speedlights as

easy as controlling on-camera ﬂash. It seamlessly and

wirelessly works with Nikon D-SLR.

Control all from the LCD

panel of your master

Speedlight. Set the ﬂash

mode, turn Speedlight

groups on or off and

control the ﬂash expo-

sure compensation for

up to three Speedlight

groups.
