KEY FEATURES:

TTL FLASH:

Di-466 responds to Olympus and Panasonic SLR camera models with TTL system system.Those new digital TTL flash systems control the flash light with greater precision and stability.

NISSIN ORIGINAL “MY TTL” SETTING:
The TTL flash power level is pre-set for reasonable exposure at factory. You can, however, reset the power at the desired exposure level, in +-3/4Ev. by 1/4Ev increments.
The preset value is memorized as your personal standard after switching the unit off.
This unique system for customizing your level settings, called MY TTL, is a feature exclusive to Nissin.
The usual TTL flash level compensation works based on this customized level.

TTL FLASH LEVEL COMPENSATION:
The power of the flash can be controlled with TTL flash level compensation. Whereas total exposure is controlled by the camera's EV compensation function, the flash can compensate for the exposure on the main subject only, with little impact on the exposure of the background scene. The flash power level can be adjusted from  -1.5 EV through +1.5 EV by 0.5 EV steps.

BATTERY MAGAZINE: Quick Loading System

The sharp humming of the oscillator can cause irritation, which may be quite severe in certain settings.

DUAL PROGRAM WIRELESS REMOTE FLASH:
RemoteThe wireless remote flash system of Di466 works for either analogue (single flash) and digital (pre-flash) flash systems. Variable power in six steps is available.

Use the camera's built-in flash, the manufacturer's original flash, or Di466 as the master flash. Place one or more Di466 flash units away from the camera.
Off-camera flash photography offers a different lighting configuration.
Use multiple Di466 flash units to achieve professional flash techniques.

POWER ZOOM & TURNING FLASH HEAD:
FilterWidepanelLight distribution angle is automatically adjusted for the lens focal length. A high quality stepping motor sharply traces the lens movement with the same speed as that of the camera manufacturer's original flash.
