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 specic
minimum duration which might still be too great for correct
exposure. Read the back’s output specications 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.
