General information
When using the A or S setting together with ash, the exposure
requirements of the camera will dominate which might produce
slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring the use
of a tripod. If P is selected instead, a shutter speed of 1/60
or faster is automatically chosen by the camera enabling the
camera to be hand held.
When using ash close up or when using larger aperture
settings, remember that the ash unit’s output has a specic
minimum duration which might still be too great for correct
exposure. Read the back’s output specications for further
information regarding any potential restrictions.
Rear sync is a useful feature used either for effect or to produce
a more ‘natural’ look when combining long exposures involving
light trails and ash.
To change the balance between ash output and camera
exposure requirements to produce a variety of effects, use the
exposure compensation function. For various long exposure
effects use the sync function. To make ash exposure tests use
the ash measure function.
Notes and WARNINGS!
Only Nikon Flash units listed above and specially adapted for
use with the X1D or Nikon compatible ashes can be connected
to the hot-shoe of the camera.
Note!
Do not attempt to connect a ash unit dedicated for use with
another camera brand via the hot shoe. The ash unit and / or
camera could be damaged.
Note!
If using ash/strobe as the main light source and 1/800s or
shorter shutter speed, remember to turn off the True Exposure
function.
