Flash Mode — i-TTL Autoflashi-TTL Mode* Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.● When the shutter button is fully pressed, the flash will fire a pre-flash that the camera will use to calculate exposure and flash output the instant before the photo is taken. Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button to enter i-TTL mode. The LCD panel will display.● Press the camera release button halfway to focus. The aperture and effective flash range will be displayed in the viewfinder.This flash has three flash modes: i-TTL, Manual (M), and RPT (Stroboscopic). In i-TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available: FEC, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash.With FEC function, this flash can adjust from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. It is useful in situations where minor adjusting of the TTL system is needed based on the environment. Setting FEC:FEC: Flash Exposure CompensationSet the flash exposure 2compensation amount.● Turn the Select Dial to set the amount.● “0.3”means 1/3 step, “0.7”means 2/3 step.● To cancel the flash exposure compensation, set the amount to “+0”.Press Set Button again to 3confirm the setting.Press Function Button 2 1Press the <+/-> button. The icon < > and flash exposure compensation amount will be highlighted on the LCD panel.C.FnC.FnSlave Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by default. Another option “30 minutes” is available. (C.Fn-Sv STBY, Page 24)Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended when the flash is used off camera. (C.Fn-STBY, Page 24)● If setting the flash sync speed to 1/320s (auto FP) or 1/250s(auto FP) in Nikon camera setting,< > will always be displayed on the panel no matter what the actual shutter speed is.● With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective flash range. ● Set the flash sync speed to Non auto FP in Nikon camera setting. When half pressing the shutter, < > will disappear.● Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.● Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15 consecutive high-speed sync flashes.High-Speed SyncHigh Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. Second-Curtain SyncSet the flash sync speed to 11/320s (auto FP) or 1/250s (auto FP) in Nikon camera setting. Half press the shutter button and < > will be displayed on the LCD panel. Now the high-speed sync function gets started.Turn the camera dial, and 2the shutter speed can be set to or more than 1/250s. Choose high-speed sync Check the shutter speed 3through the camera viewfinder to confirm whether the FP high-speed function is used. If the shutter speed is or over 1/250s, it means the high-speed is booted up.● In camera setting, choose REAR to achieve second curtain sync.- 11 - - 12 -

The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/256th power in 1/10th stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.M: Manual FlashPress < MODE > button so 1that < M > is displayed.Press the <+/-> button and turn 2the Select Dial to choose a desired flash output amount.Press Set Button again to 3confirm the setting.Optic S1 Secondary Unit SettingIn M manual flash mode, press <S1/S2> button so that this flash can function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting effects.Optic S2 Secondary Unit SettingPress <S1/S2> button so that this flash can also function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this function, the flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the main flash and will only fire in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit.● S1 and S2 optic triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.● After you finish the setting, press Set Button and all the settings will be displayed.Press the <+/-> button and 3turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash output.RPT: Stroboscopic FlashWith stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph.You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.Press <MODE> button so 1that < > is displayed.Calculating the Shutter SpeedDuring stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera.For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter SpeedTo avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes’ rest for the camera flash.● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“bulb”.● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.RPTSet the flash frequency and 2flash times.● Press the Function Button 2 <Times> to select the flash times. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.● Press the Function Button 3 <Hz> to select the flash frequency. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.- 13 -- 14 -

HzMaximum Stroboscopic Flashes:FlashoutputHzFlashoutputWireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission● You can set up five slave groups for TTL autoflash shooting.With TTL autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.● Any flash settings for the slave units(auto flash, manual flash and stroboscopic flash) on the master flash in TTL mode will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit for each slave group without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.● This flash can work in i-TTL /M /RPT/ OFF flash modes when setas a master unit.Note:● Even with multiple slave units, the ONE series flash trigger can control all of them via wireless.● In this user manual, “master unit” refers to the camera flash on a camera and “slave unit” will be controlled by the master unit.1/41/81/161/321/641/1281/2561814306090909026143060909090341230609090904310205080909053820508090906-72620407090908-92510306080801/41/81/161/321/641/1281/256102482050707020-502481630404060-10024812204040Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting)● Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit● Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.● The transmission distance might be shorter depending on the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the surrounding environment and whether conditions.● Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting.Transmission distance is about 100m.● Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups● Auto Shooting with Three Slave GroupsYou can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform i-TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups.Wireless Multiple Flash ShootingABABC- 15 -- 16 -
