mounted directly on the camera. Use 5peedlights for indirect lighting or when
additional lighting is required. The built-in flash

• Before using Speedlights SB-600, 58-800 or 58-900, set the 5peedlight flash control mode to TTL.
This enables the i-TTL flash control to use monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash output automatically
in response to lighting conditions. Refer to the 5peedlight manual for more information on i-TTL
flash control.
• 5hooting with Wireless Lighting can be done by setting the 58-800, 58-900 or Wireless 5peedlight
Commander 5U-800 to "commander", and setting the 58-600, 58-800 and S8-900 to "remote flash".
However, the flash is not usable even if the monitor flashes when the 58-800 and 58-900 is set to
"commander". The Wireless Lighting group setting is only applicable for group
A.
Change the
setting for both the commander and the remote flash to group
A.
