Multiple flash shooting using cords The SB-800 can be used with Speedlights compatible with the TTL auto flash mode to perform multiple flash shooting using cords. • Use of the SB-50DX and SB-23 as remote flash units is not recommended, because the standby function cannot be canceled. • Speedlights SB-11, SB-14, SB-140, and SB-21B cannot be used with the F-401/N4004 or F-401s/N4004s as either master or remote flash units. • There is no limitation in usable cameras. • With cameras compatible with CLS and digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, Manual flash operation only is possible. ■■■ The maximum number of flash units to be connected using cords • Up to five units including the master flash unit can be used for multiple flash photography at a total cable length of 10m (33 ft.). • Make sure the combined total of the coefficients in the table below for all flash units used together does not exceed 20 at 20°C (68°F) or 13 at 40°C (104°F). • If it exceeds these figures, you may not be able to take a second shot after the first one. In this case, turn off the power of all flash units and reduce the total number of flash units connected.
