USB Service Port
For firmware update service, Di866 Mark II provides a USB service
port. Di866 Mark II is developed to work with the cameras
presently available in the market and it may need to install
updated firmware to work with the new cameras in the future,
or the cameras with updated firmware. In this case, a
software to work with such new version will be available at
Nissin's homepage to download.
The same USB connector cord included in the camera's
package can be commonly used.
X terminal
Di866 Mark II 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, Di866 Mark II
has a x-terminal socket for flash synchronization. A standard
sync-cable in the market is usable.
Off-camera shoe cord (Optional)
Di866 Mark II can be used together with Nissin SC-01 (Off Camera
Shoe Cord). The cord provides a TTL hot shoe at the main body.
It enables the attachment of two flash units at the same time. One
on top of the camera and one off camera.
