Multiple flash shooting using cords
The SB-600 can be used with Speedlights compatible with the TTL auto flash
mode to perform multiple flash shooting using cords.
• When using a Speedlight that has a standby function as a remote flash unit, make sure
that the standby function is set to off, or select a standby duration that is long enough
by using the Custom Settings.
• Use of the SB-50DX and SB-23 as remote flash units is not recommended, because the
standby function cannot be canceled.
• Speedlights SB-11, SB-14, SB-140, and SB-21B cannot be used with the F-401/N4004
or F-401s/N4004s as either master or remote flash units.
• There is no limitation in usable cameras.
•With cameras compatible with CLS and digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, Manual
flash operation only is possible.
