A Nikon wireless flash can be handy when taking pictures in a large room or when you want the light coming from a specific direction, such as in portrait photography.
Wireless Nikon flashes are designed to be used with the Nikon Creative Lighting System. This will allow a Nikon camera, such as the D70, D80 or D90, to remotely control the flash. This process is most effective when the camera and flash are not more than 10 feet apart.
Using Nikon equipment will allow the flash to work in iTTL mode. TTL stands for "Through the Lens" metering, meaning the flash is reading the amount of light coming through the camera's lens and setting itself appropriately.
Instructions
1. Set the wireless flash in the desired position for the photo. Make sure the back side of the flash is facing the camera.
2. Turn on the flash and then push the "Mode" button and change the mode to "iTTL."
3. Set the flash as "Remote" by pressing the "Sel" button for a few seconds until the custom menu appears. Also set the channel number.
4. Turn off the flash.
5. Turn on your camera. Press the "Menu" button and scroll to the "CSM" menu and choose "Flash Mode."
6. Set the "Flash Mode" to "Commander Mode." Set the camera to the same channel as the flash. Adjust the exposure compensation value to between +3.0 and -3.0, if needed.
7. Turn on the wireless flash. Pop up the built-in flash on the camera.
8. Take the picture. The flash will beep to signal that it fired.
