1 Commander flash operation The Commander function enables the SU-800 to act as a Commander unit to trigger remote flash units without firing itself. By rearranging the remote flash setups, you can enjoy rendering a variety of lighting effects. Example D D-1 Flash setup SU-800 SB-R200 Group C SB-800 Group A Triple-light flash operation Three flash units positioned at different locations are used in order to represent the color and textures of the overall table setting. The SB-800 is used as a main flash unit to provide strong illumination on the table from the upper left. SB-R200 units on both the right and left sides eliminate the shadows. In this way, a much more vivid rendition of food and dishes on the periphery of the table is created. Example D D-3 SB-R200 Group B • Camera: D70 • Lens: AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED • Group A: SB-800 (TTL) • Group B: SB-R200 (TTL) • Group C: SB-R200 (M) D-2 example in "Close-up Speedlight Photography Examples" was taken using a single built-in flash.
