1 Close-up flash operation
Wireless close-up flash operation is possible when the SU-800 and SB-R200 are
used with CLS-compatible cameras. The SB-R200 can be attached to the front
of the lens, held in your hand, or freely positioned by using the Speedlight Stand
AS-20. The flexibility of close-up flash operation sets it apart from conventional
lighting systems.
Example A
A-1
Dual-light close-up flash operation (one
flash unit attached to the front of the lens
+ one held in the hand)
With one SB-R200 attached to the front of
the lens, the subject in front is strongly
illuminated, while a second SB-R200 held in
the hand illuminates the subject from the
left to soften harsh shadows and further
highlight the subject, in this case a
ladybug.
Flash setup
• Camera: D70
• Lens: AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D
• Group A: SB-R200 (TTL)
• Group B: SB-R200 (TTL)
A-2, A-3, and A-4 examples in “Close-up
Speedlight Photography Examples” were also
taken under the same conditions as with A-1.
Example B B-1
Dual-light close-up flash operation (one
flash unit attached to the front of the lens
+ one held in the hand)
With one SB-R200, held in the hand, used
as the main flash unit, the subject is
strongly illuminated from the lower left,
while a second SB-R200 attached to the
front of the lens is used to illuminate the
subject from the upper right to emphasize
the contours of the flower’s petals, resulting
in softened textures.
Flash setup
• Camera: D70
• Lens: AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D
• Group A: SB-R200 (TTL)
• Group B: SB-R200 (TTL)
B-2, B-3, and B-4 examples in “Close-up
Speedlight Photography Examples” were also
taken under the same conditions as with B-1.
