Reference information
Using external power sources
Connecting to an external power source
To use an external power source, remove the cover
and connect its power cord to the SB-800s external
power source terminal.
Using external power sources made by another
manufacturer is not recommended.
Specifications
1 With AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries in the SB-800.
2 With the same type of batteries in both the external power source and the SB-800.
3 When fired at an interval of 120 seconds.
The above data may vary due to variations in performance or whether fresh or old
batteries are used.
In rare cases, when firing the modeling illuminator with the SD-8A or SK-6 attached, the
SB-800 may be powered by its own batteries, and the external power source does not
operate. This is not a malfunction.
