Hi all,

I been in and out a few forums, read the manual but seems can't figure out
how to trigger other SB-800 using the SB-800 mounted on top of my D1H and S2
Pro.

Is it impossible to do without a SU-4 ? or I read the wrong section of the
manual ?

TIA

Hi there.

I don't have 2 SB800s, only 1 SB600, so can't really help.

I agree that for the price of these guns, the instruction manuals are not
much help.

Have a look at http://www.imaging-resource.com
where you will find a detailed description of Flash use in the Nikon D70
Review.

Hope it helps, if you do not get a detailed answer here.

Its done.
A further googling around reveals that SU-4 is actually BUILT into the
SB-800 now :P
I really have no idea what's the difference between the slave on the SB-26,
SB-30,SB-80DX I have
[and if they are no different , why they name that mode SU-4 now :D]

anyway just set it to SU-4 mode and you are set to go :)
its not actually CLS, but it'll do til I upgrade to a new body.

Set them both to SU-4 in the custom menu.
