Frequently Asked Questions
Can this flash be used with a non-Nikon camera body?
No, the Sigma EF-500 DG ST Flash is specifically designed for Nikon SLR cameras, including features like 3-D multi-sensor balanced fill flash and D-TTL, which are proprietary to Nikon systems.
What is the benefit of the automatic projection angle adjustment?
The automatic projection angle adjustment ensures that the flash's light output matches the lens's focal length (28mm to 105mm), helping to prevent vignetting and provide more even illumination across the frame without manual intervention.
How does wireless TTL flash photography work with this unit?
The EF-500 DG ST supports wireless TTL flash photography, allowing the flash to communicate with the camera to determine the correct exposure settings without being physically attached, typically as an off-camera master or slave unit.
What does the "FP flash photography" feature do?
FP flash photography, also known as High-Speed Sync, allows the flash to synchronize with shutter speeds faster than the camera's normal flash sync speed, which is useful for freezing fast action or using flash in bright ambient light to control depth of field.
What are the power settings available for the multi-pulse flash?
The multi-pulse flash feature allows for reduced power settings from 1/4 down to 1/128, adjustable in six steps, giving photographers fine control over the flash intensity for creative effects.
