Softening the shadows cast on the wall by the master flash unit
or lightening the background
Set the SB-30’s Mode selector dial to Wireless slave
flash (M), and the Speedlight will fire at M1/1 output,
allowing you to eliminate shadows or lighten the
background for creating more natural-looking
pictures.
• The maximum shooting distance of the master
Speedlight’s light sensor is approx. 40m (131 ft.).
Taking flash pictures
1 Use the SB-30 as the slave flash unit and set it to
the Wireless slave flash (M) mode.
2 Determine the correct exposure using the flash-to-
subject distance and aperture set on the camera or
lens, then shoot.
• Refer to “Manual flash mode” on page 18.
• To eliminate shadows such as those cast on the
wall, use a lens aperture that makes the
illumination on the wall overexposed by the
equivalent of at least +2 stops.
