MULTIPLE FLASH OPERATION
Note the following instructions when perform-
ing
mUltiple flash photography with the Nikon
Speedlight SB-2,
3,
4,
5,
7E, 8E, and 10 flash
units.
• These Nikon Speedlight units employ a spe-
cial low-voltage triggering circuit
to
prevent
electric shock and damage on the hot-shoe
contact.
We
do
not
recommend mixing Nikon
Speedlight units with flash units
of
other
makes for multiple flash photography, unless
you use slave sensors for remote triggering.
Otherwise, incorrect operation and/or damage
to the unit may result.
•
Be
sure to set the shooting mode selector to
'manual.' If the selector
is
set on
'auto,'
cor-
rect exposure cannot
be
assured.
•
With
the SB-2 or SB-7E flash unit mounted
on the camera's
hot
shoe, you may use the
flash unit's sync socket. However, with the
SB-3, SB-8E and SB-lO, you cannot.

•
When
the camera
is
not
fitted with a
hot
shoe,
the flash unit has to be connected
to
the
camera
via
the sync cord. Consequently, sync
connection
is
not possible for mUltiple flash
use.
In
this case, use slave sensors for trigger-
ing
the remote flash .
• The units may trigger inadvertently
whi
le you
are connecting them. This
is
normal and
is
no
cause for concern.
