ISO communication when using flahes in wireless mode   Message List

Re: ISO communication when using flahes in wireless mode

Ashok,

Ignore this information the Nikon rep was either very new at the job or
was not a Nikon rep! Its well known and promoted by Nikon reps knowing
the CLS wireless system that once the master/slave grp's are set that's
all you do any information set on the master will be transmitted to the
slaves in the pre flash sequence.
I can back this up by the fact I use CLS on almost all my shoots
requiring flash, I use 6 sb800's, 4 sb200's and a sb900 all run from a
commander and I have no trouble with changes in iso or lens at any time.

Regards paul

Ashok, Have you downloaded an SB900 manual to see if it references setting ISO? If there is a procedure, then that should pretty much confirm you can set ISO ...

From Moose Paterson... Nikon first introduced TTL (Through The Lens) flash technology in 1980. The basics of TTL operation is rather simple and applies to all...

Thanks Mel, Dale and Patrick. To confirm, I re-read the manuals (SB600 and SB800) and no where it was written that you need to set ISO on the flash when used...
