With the SB-5000, Advanced Wireless Lighting using radio control is
possible. Because communication is possible within a range of 30 m (98 ft)
and the light sensor window for wireless remote flash on remote flash units
does not have to face the master flash unit, positioning of flash units is more
flexible than with optical control. Up to 6 groups, total of 18 remote flash units
can be set up, expanding creative expression. In addition, wireless multiple
flash-unit photography in bright daylight, which is difficult with optical
control, is also possible as sunlight has no effect.
