Just read Nikon D70 and Nikon Flash Manuals, and there are good methods prescribed for each situation. I am sure others will provide more answers. I would advice you to read more, but you already did that, perhaps reading in wrong places would not really help. Now equipped with this knowledge, get back and re-think your knowledge, how that fits into your understanding. As usuall Nikon has them all.Īnd.SB-600 cannot act as a Commander flash, it has this limitation to reduce the cost perhaps, but your D70 can act as a commander, or SB-800, or the best is SU-800.
Efx8 flash in commander mode manual#
Nikon uses Commander-Remote relation for Nikon iTTL, CLS modes, but in manual modes, or SU-4, you could think of it as Master-Slave relation. There is no radio communication used by Nikon CLS system between camera and Nikon flashes. Nikon CSL uses both visible and infrared light spectrum for communications, with the exception of SU-800 commander unit that only uses infrared light. but does not control the amount of output of the slave flash. Old Mater-Slave relation is when the Master flash on the camera triggers a remote flash. Some basics: Commander-Remote is the relation where flash on the camera commands a remote flash - means controlls the amout of flash output of the remote flash as well as it's own light. "and have been reading numerous posts on this site and other literature as well" - while doing this one can loose it easily, so most of your conclusions are wrong, but few are right. I hope these questions aren't too basic, but maybe they will explain why I'm soĪgain, thanks for all the great answers that I'm sure I'll receive. Would the camera ever be operated in Commander Mode in this The camera's built-in flash would obviouslyīe inoperable. If an SB-600 is mounted to the camera hot shoe, all it can do is operate by Would thereĮver be a situation where the camera would be operated in Commander Mode in this However, SB-600's cannot be master nor can the camera by itself. If an SB-800 is mounted to the camera and operates as a master, it uses a radioįrequency (rf) signal to trigger its slaves (which can be 600's or 800's). This way theĬamera's flash does not participate in the exposure. Main flash and shutter opening occur slightly after the pre-flash. I have a suspicion that inĬommander Mode, the flash from the camera is actually a "pre-flash" and that the
That are set off by the camera's main flash. Understand how this is different from the old traditional use of slave flashes
Oriented to be able to "see" the camera flash. Here is what I think I understand (hopefuly most of it's correct):Ĭommander Mode uses the camera's built-in flash to optically trigger externalįlashes such as the SB-600 or SB-800. Relationships between the camera, SB-600's, and SB-800's, and also how itĭiffers from "old-fashioned" slave flashes. However, I'm still very confused aboutĮxactly what Commander Mode is, how it differs from the Master-Slave I am thinking of upgrading my D70s flash and have been reading numerous posts on
