USB Service Port
Tired of your flash no longer working whenever a new camera
comes onto the market ? A firmware upgrade service is
available for the MG8000, which provides a service terminal to
upload the latest software. A service charge for the firmware
upgrade will be applied, varying with different region. Please
check at your local dealer for details about the update service.
X terminal
MG8000 can be used with non-hotshoe cameras. Some cameras
provide a flash synchronization contact at x-terminal instead
of hotshoe. For this type of cameras, MG8000 has a
x-terminal socket for flash synchronization. A standard
sync-cable in the market is usable.
Off-camera shoe cord (Optional)
MG8000 can be used together with Nissin SC-01 (Off Camera Shoe
Cord). The cord provides a TTL hot shoe at main body.
It enable to attach two flash units on the top of camera and the off
camera side at the same time.
