Modeling Illumination - Nikon SB-5000 Reference Manual

Modeling illumination

When the modeling illumination button is pressed, the flash fires
repeatedly at a reduced flash output level. This is useful for checking the
glare and shadows cast on a subject before actually taking the picture.
• The flash fires as a modeling illuminator for up to approx. 1 second.
• When the depth-of-field preview button on a camera compatible with
modeling illumination is pressed, the modeling illuminator fires. For
details, see the camera user's manual.

flash unit and remote flash unit groups whose flash functions are
activated fire as modeling illuminators according to the set flash output
level and the selected mode.
