manual abstract
• The optional Color Filter Set SJ-2 contains a total of 20 filters in 8 models of colored gel filters (p. 123). Example I I-1 Triple-light flash operation (with a colored gel filter) One SB-R200 unit with a colored gel filter behind the subject is bounced off the back wall to emphasize the simple whiteness of the background. The main SB-800 illuminates the subject from the front and the SB-600 provides strong light from behind to accentuate the subject to create impressive rim-lighting on her hair. Example H H-3 Dual-light flash operation Two SB-R200 units with red and blue colored gel filters (provided) are bounced off the wall and directly from the top to add colors to the scene.

Balancing light from the flash With digital cameras, if you shoot flash pictures under fluorescent light with the camera’s white balance set to “Flash,” the main subject illuminated by the flash will look normal. However, the background will come out green. To compensate, use the FL-G1 (green gel filter) to convert the light coming from the flash to the same color as fluorescent light, then adjust the camera’s white balance to “Fluorescent.” Follow a similar procedure when shooting flash pictures under incandescent/tungsten illumination using the TN-A1 filter. In this case, set the white balance to “Incandescent.” • Available with digital cameras featuring white balance. You cannot set the white balance on the Speedlight. Choose an appropriate white balance setting on your digital camera. For more details, see your camera user’s manual. Using colored filters for adding special colors to a scene. Colored gel filters can be used to add specific colors to create various renderings of a scene. • Adjust your digital camera’s white balance (if available) to “Flash” for the most effective results. Notes on using colored gel filters • Colored gel filters are consumable items. When they fade in color or deteriorate, purchase the optional Color Filter Set SJ-2. • Do not use these filters when taking pictures with repeating flash, as the heat can damage them. • The heat generated from the flash head can deform color filters. However, this will not affect their performance. • There is no difference between the front and back of a colored gel filter. • Scratches on the filters will have no effect on performance unless the filters fade in color. • The amount of exposure compensation printed on each filter is provided as a guide only. Be sure to make test shots to determine the actual amount of compensation required. • To remove dust or dirt, wipe the filter lightly with a soft, clean cloth. ..

If the distance exceeds this, irregular flash lighting may occur. • Use of a Micro-NIKKOR lens is recommended with the SW-11.
