1. Einleitung
The JJC Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord FC-N3A is designed to extend the distance between your Nikon camera and an external flash unit while maintaining full TTL (Through-The-Lens) functionality. This cord allows for flexible flash positioning, enabling creative lighting setups and reducing harsh shadows often associated with direct on-camera flash. It serves as a reliable replacement for the Nikon SC-28 cord.
2. Einrichtungsanweisungen
Follow these steps to properly connect and set up your JJC Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord:
- Attach the Sync Cord to Your Camera: Locate the hot shoe on your Nikon camera. Slide the camera-end of the flash sync cord onto the hot shoe. Secure it firmly using the locking knob or lever on the cord's base.
- Attach the Flash Unit: Take your external Nikon-compatible flash unit and slide its hot shoe foot into the flash-end of the off-camera flash sync cord. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured by its locking mechanism.
- Mount the Off-Camera Hot Shoe (Optional): The flash-end of the cord features a shoe mount with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud. This allows you to mount the flash onto a flash bracket, light stand, or tripod for versatile positioning.

3. Bedienungsanleitung
Once the JJC Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord is connected, it maintains all automatic functions of your Nikon flash, including TTL metering. This allows you to control the flash output and other settings directly from your camera, just as if the flash were mounted on the camera's hot shoe.
- Off-Camera Positioning: The 1.3m (4.2 ft) coiled cord provides ample length to position your flash away from the camera. This enables you to direct light from various angles, creating more dynamic and professional-looking photographs.
- TTL-Funktionalität: The cord transmits all necessary data between the camera and flash, ensuring accurate exposure control through Nikon's TTL system.
- Manuelle Kontrolle: If your flash supports manual power settings, you can still adjust these directly on the flash unit or via your camera's menu, depending on your camera and flash model.
