......OK, what will Nikon CLS do for me?

Well, to give a cool example of what this CLS system can be useful for I think I would be best advised to hand over to the master Nikon Lighting Guru - Joe McNally.

Joe McNally is regarded by many (including myself) as a master of the Nikon Speedlight system. Here he demonstrates how using TTL (Through The Lens) light metering on the flashes, they automatically adjust their power to the fading light in a real life assignment scenario.

Note that no cables are run from any of the flashes to the camera.

The metering is made by the camera, the information is passed to each of the flash units and they all fire at the correct power for the scene in a fraction of a second.

This is not unique to Nikon cameras and flashes by the way, Canon and all the other big names in Digital SLR cameras have this technology.

I am a Nikonian, I love the Nikon products, and in my humble opinion as an amateur strobist, Nikons CLS is just ahead of the game right now for ease of use and quality of user experience.

Enjoy the video.....
