Multiple flash operation using the SB-30 as an infrared remote commander
With the built-in infrared filter in
place, you can use the SB-30
as an infrared remote commander
to perform wireless multiple flash,
using slave flash units only to
illuminate the subject without the
use of a master flash unit.
• Set the flash mode to TTL auto flash; Non-TTL auto
flash is not recommended.
• The infrared filter can be used together with the
wide-flash adapter.
• Even though light leaks from both sides of the
infrared filter, this will not affect the correct
exposure.
• Without using the infrared filter, the master flash
unit works as a normal flash unit and the subject is
also illuminated by this flash unit.
Multiple flash shooting using cords
Like other Speedlights compatible with the TTL auto flash mode, the SB-30 can perform TTL multiple flash
using optional TTL Remote Cords SC-17/SC-24, TTL Multi-Flash Sync Cords SC-18/SC-19, or the TTL Multi-
Flash Adapter AS-10. For details, refer to your camera or accessory instruction manuals or brochures.
