• Monitor pre-flashes on or off can be set by using the custom setting. (kC-22)
• When the monitor pre-flashes are activated, the SB-900 fires a series of
imperceptible monitor pre-flashes immediately before the flash fires to obtain
information on the subject.
• To perform the Auto FP-High Speed Sync (kD-55) or FV Lock (kD-55),
activate the monitor pre-flashes.
