Wireless slave flash shooting
In this section, the SB-30 is used as a slave flash unit that starts and stops firing in sync with the master
Speedlight mounted on the camera or the camera’s built-in Speedlight. With the SB-30, the following
types of wireless slave flash shooting can be performed.
• The Standby function does not work if the Mode selector dial is set to the Wireless slave flash mode.
Take care that the power remains on and is consuming.
Shooting a distant subject using cameras such as the COOLPIX that have a built-in Speedlight
(P. 22)
By placing the camera and the SB-30 side-by-side to fire the SB-30 in sync with the built-in Speedlight,
you can illuminate a distant subject, creating a picture not possible when using the built-in flash by
itself.
Using the SB-30 as a slave flash unit placed away from the camera (p. 24)
In multiple flash, when the SB-30 is used away from the camera, you can create more natural-looking
pictures with sufficient illumination throughout the picture.
Softening shadows cast on the wall by the master flash unit or lightening the background (p. 26)
By using the SB-30 at full (M1/1) output, you can eliminate unattractive shadows or lighten the
background to create more natural-looking pictures.
Multiple flash operation using the infrared remote commander (p. 27)
With the built-in infrared filter in place, the SB-30 operates as an infrared remote commander to trigger
other slave flash units.
