Foreword
Thanks for your purchase of this ST-III TTL wireless flash trigger.
This TTL wireless flash trigger can be used with a transmitter and one or more receivers for
studio flash, speedlight, and camera shutter. Featuring multi-channel triggering, stable
signal transmission, and sensitive reaction, it gives photographers unparalleled flexibility
and control over their strobist setups. The flash trigger applies to hotshoe-mounted Nikon
DSLR series cameras, as well as the cameras which have PC sync sockets.
With ST-III wireless flash trigger, high speed synchronization is available for most of
camera flashes in the market which support i-TTL. The max flash synchronization speed is
up to 1/8000s *.
*: 1/8000s is achievable when the camera has a max camera shutter speed of 1/8000s.
