Two methods of wireless slave flash shooting Wireless slave flash can be performed in two ways by setting the Mode selector dial: (1) Auto wireless slave flash (A) mode: • The SB-30 starts and stops firing in sync with the master Speedlight. • The maximum shooting distance of the SB-30's light sensor is approx. 5m (16 ft.). (2) Manual wireless slave flash (M) mode: • The SB-30 only fires at M1/1 output in sync with the master Speedlight. • The maximum shooting distance of the SB-30's light sensor is approx. 40m (131 ft.). Basic operation Notes • Position the slave flash unit (SB-30) so that light from the master flash unit can reach the light sensor of the slave flash unit. This is particularly important when taking pictures while holding a slave flash unit in your hand. • The correct exposure cannot be obtained if the master Speedlight fires a series of preflashes (Monitor Preflash). Cancel the Monitor Preflash of the master flash unit using the methods described below. This is necessary E except for the one preliminary flash firing of the COOLPIX that does not affect the correct exposure. F80-Series/N80-Series, Set the camera's exposure mode to Manual (M) F70-Series/N70 F5, F100, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90 Cancel the Monitor Preflash of the Speedlight mounted on the camera. D1-Series Set the flash mode of the Speedlight mounted on the camera to Non-TTL auto or Manual flash. 21
