multi-exposure pictures. Do not repeat multiple flash more than 10

continuous frames.

batteries(battery magazine) in the flash unit and when the main batteries

are exhausted, flash control system does not work. Replace the batteries

when recycle time becomes longer than 20 seconds by main batteries only.

The mode to be set on the camera:

Di866 Mark II provides two possibilities of off camera wireless remote flash

system.

This page explains Wireless Remote flash system. (The other system, universal

slave flash system, is prepared at M and Av. mode - Ref. page 16 / 20)

The flash unit placed on the camera, connected by TTL off-camera flash cord is

called “Master flash”. The master flash to be set is one unit only.

The flash unit placed off the camera is called “Remote Flash”. Multiple number of

flashes can be set and controlled in 3 different groups (A, B and C group). 4

channels are prepared for signal transmission between the Master flash and the

Remote flash.

There is no limit of the number of remote flashes to be set at one time.

It is however, recommended to set a maximum of 3 pcs in one group, as it may

cause interference between flashes depending on the photographic conditions.

At Remote flash mode, Di866 Mark II is set automatically for manual zoom setting

and its reflector position is set for 24mm to cover the wider range of illumination.

It is possible to set the desired flash coverage angle manually by select button

Use a flash stand to set the Remote flash. The stand provides the flash shoe

and can stay either on the flat surface, or be placed on the tripod or light stand

by the screw provided at the bottom.

When setting Di866 Mark II to Remote flash, it is recommended to cancel the

auto-off setting or set it to 60 minutes at the Custom Settings - Ref. page 30.

Refer your flash instruction manual for this function, which may differ according

to the flash model.

Remote flash

1.The remote flash does not shoot its light directly into the camera lens.

2.The wireless flash sensor of the Remote flash is not blocked.

3.The remote flash is usually not placed behind the master flash.

4.In the daylight synchronization, the sensor of remote flash could be

saturated by sunlight and its response will be extremely reduced. In this

case, the wireless TTL function may not result in success. Making a shade

to cover the sensor of the remote flash is one of the ideas to help the

situation.

Where is the Remote flash sensor?

Remote flash sensor is provided behind the front panel of Di866 Mark II at

the name of Nissin DIGITAL. The sensor’s sensing angle to respond to the

incoming light is about 100˚.
