t Monitor pre-flashes
• Monitor pre-flashes can be activated or canceled as a non-TTL auto flash
mode option in the custom settings (0B-24).
• Flash output is controlled more accurately with monitor pre-flashes.
The SB-5000 emits monitor pre-flashes before actual firing to obtain
reflected flash data.
• Monitor pre-flashes should be activated when auto FP high-speed sync
(0E-31) or FV lock (0E-32) is used.
