Pencét éta MODÉ tombol pikeun ngalingkung modeu lampu kilat anu sayogi.

1. i-TTL Mode (Automatic Flash)

In i-TTL mode, the flash automatically determines the optimal flash output based on the camera's metering system. This mode is ideal for quick and convenient shooting.

  • Attach the flash to your Nikon camera's hot shoe.
  • Turn on the flash and the camera.
  • Select i-TTL mode using the MODE button.
  • The flash will communicate with the camera to set the appropriate exposure.

2. Modeu Manual (M)

Manual mode allows you to set the flash output power manually, from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128 power, in 1/3 stop increments. This provides precise control over lighting.

  • Select M mode using the MODE button.
  • Use the directional pad to adjust the flash output power.
  • Take a test shot and adjust power as needed.

3. Multi (Stroboscopic) Mode

Multi mode fires the flash repeatedly during a single exposure, creating a stroboscopic effect. You can set the flash frequency (Hz), number of flashes, and flash output.

  • Select Multi mode using the MODE button.
  • Use the directional pad and Fn button to set the frequency, number of flashes, and power.

4. Master/Slave Modes (Wireless Flash)

The AD-980II can function as a master unit to control other slave flashes or as a slave unit triggered by a master flash or camera's built-in flash. It supports 4 channels in 3 groups.

  • Modeu Master: Set the flash to Master mode (often indicated by a specific icon or 'M' with wireless symbol). Use the Fn button to set channels and groups.
  • Slave Mode (C/N, S1, S2):
    • C/N Slave Mode: Optical slave mode compatible with Nikon's wireless flash system.
    • Modeu S1: Optical slave mode that triggers the flash upon detecting the first flash from a master unit. Suitable for manual flash.
    • Modeu S2: Optical slave mode that ignores the pre-flash from a master unit and triggers on the main flash. Suitable for i-TTL flash.

To use slave modes, ensure the flash's optical sensor is facing the master flash or camera's built-in flash.

Fitur canggih

1. Sinkronisasi Gancang-Luhur (HSS)

The AD-980II supports High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000s, allowing you to use flash at shutter speeds faster than your camera's maximum flash sync speed. This is useful for freezing fast motion or using wide apertures in bright conditions.

  • Ensure your camera supports HSS.
  • Activate HSS on the flash unit (usually via the Fn button or a dedicated HSS icon on the display).
  • Set your camera's shutter speed above its normal sync speed.

2. Rear-Curtain Sync

Rear-curtain sync fires the flash just before the second curtain closes, creating a natural-looking trail of light behind moving subjects when using slow shutter speeds.

  • Activate Rear-curtain sync through the flash's custom functions or camera settings.

3. Auto/Manual Zoom

The flash head's zoom position can be adjusted automatically to match the lens focal length or manually set from 18mm to 180mm.

  • In Manual zoom, use the directional pad to adjust the focal length.

4. Sound Prompt

The flash unit includes a sound prompt feature to indicate when the flash is fully recycled and ready to fire. This can be enabled or disabled via the function settings.

5. Over-Heat Protection

To prevent damage from continuous high-power firing, the flash unit has an over-heat protection system. If the unit becomes too hot, it will temporarily disable firing until it cools down.
