WIRELESS FLASH (D70 only)
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-500 DG SUPER NA-iTTL,
communication between the camera body and the flash will be done by the light of the flash. In the
“Wireless Flash” mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically.
` It is possible to use built-in flash of D70 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 Flash settings of the Master can be set at 0.
` Channel and group number settings can be done on the master unit and slave units. Other settings can
be done on the master flash unit.
