Multiple Flash Operation - Nikon SB-10 Instruction Manual

MULTIPLE FLASH OPERATION
Note the following instructions when perform-
ing mUltiple flash photography with the Nikon
Speedlight SB-2, 3, 4, 5, 7E, 8E, and 10 flash
units.
• These Nikon Speedlight units employ a spe-
cial low-voltage triggering circuit to prevent
electric shock and damage on the hot-shoe
contact. We do not recommend mixing Nikon
Speedlight units with flash units of other
makes for multiple flash photography, unless
you use slave sensors for remote triggering.
Otherwise, incorrect operation and /or damage
to the unit may result.
• Be sure to set the shooting mode selector to
'manual.' If the selector is set on 'auto,' cor-
rect exposure cannot be assured.
• With the SB-2 or SB-7E flash unit mounted
on the camera's hot shoe, you may use the
flash unit's sync socket. However, with the
SB-3, SB-8E and SB-lO, you cannot.

• When the camera is not fitted with a hot shoe,
the flash unit has to be connected to the
camera via the sync cord. Consequently, sync
connection is not possible for mUltiple flash
use. In this case, use slave sensors for trigger-
ing the remote flash .
• The units may trigger inadvertently whi le you
are connecting them. This is normal and is no
cause for concern.
