FLASHBOSS

TTL TRANSCEIVER

FOR NIKON (FB-TTL-N)

USER MANUAL

The FlashBoss TTL Transceiver

functions as both a TTL

transmitter and receiver that

take full advantage of

Nikon’s i-TTL ﬂash metering

technologies. Lightweight and

compact, it mounts to a camera

and functions as a transmitter,

sending TTL metering data to

your remote ﬂashes. Attached

to a ﬂash, it’s a slave that

adjusts the output power

of the ﬂash accordingly. The

FlashBoss supports HSS and

allows ﬂash synchronization

of up to 1/8000 of a second.

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO

As a transmitter, the FlashBoss

gives you control over your

lighting setup. Each group

can be individually set to

TTL, manual, delayed time

(DT), and o. Controls for

ﬂash zoom and exposure

compensation can be remotely

set for all compatible ﬂashes.

The 2.4 GHz radio signal oers

control from over 300 feet

(100 m) away without line-of-

sight positioning. Trigger your

camera around corners or even

through a wall. Thirty selectable

channels assure you of trouble-

free shooting without any

interference from other remote

units in the area. A backlit digital

display allows for easy viewing in

all kinds of lighting conditions.
