Item description: The Speedlite Di866 is the top model from Nissin with a record guide number of 60, a second reflector, a color display and numerous other exceptional features. The large zoom reflector can be swiveled 90° up and to the left and 180° to the right. When the reflector is directed forward, its angle of illumination is automatically adjusted to the respective lens focal length equivalent to a 35 mm film between 24 mm and 105 mm, and when the lens is folded forward it even adjusts to equivalent focal lengths of up to 17 mm.
The zoom reflector can also be controlled manually, e.g. B. for indirect flash. If the reflector is directed upwards with a very soft main light from the ceiling, a small white umbrella that can be pulled out behind the light exit surface can be used to redirect part of the flash light forward to brighten the shadows. If the swivel reflector is aligned in a different direction, the integrated second reflector for a frontal fill-in flash (LZ 12, light angle for KB equivalent 35 mm focal length) can be switched on instead.
The color display, used for the first time in a flash unit, automatically shows only the relevant parameters. Strobe flash and wireless control of multiple flash units. Can be used as a controlling main flash (“master”) on the camera or as a servo flash (“remote”). “MyTTL” is the term used to calibrate the TTL flash control. Position sensor detects portrait format, the display is automatically erected. Burst mode HS (High Speed) enables flash photography with shutter speeds faster than 1/250 s with focal plane shutter cameras. Future-proof thanks to firmware updates via USB port.
Easy to use despite the professional variety of functions. The position sensor detects portrait format and the display is turned upright. For anyone who doesn't just take photos in landscape format, this flash unit offers a remarkable novelty: the square color display is automatically raised by a position sensor when taking portrait format photos with the camera tilted to the left or right by 90° and is therefore always optimally readable. The flash energy is controlled in one of the following modes, whereby the color display, used for the first time in a flash unit, automatically only shows the relevant parameters so that they remain clear and quickly comprehensible: Fully automatically controlled by the camera in a mode A that is radically simplified for beginners without any Settings by the photographer. Automatically in TTL mode (E-TTL for Canon, i-TTL for Nikon cameras), but with the option of setting individual exposure compensation and automatic or manual flash angle adjustment (focal length display). Manually in mode M in one of eight flash energy levels (1, 1/2, 1/4, ... 1/128 of full energy), where the distance for correct exposure with direct flash and the focal length of the flash angle adjustment are displayed. As an alternative to manual mode M, an aperture priority mode A ( = Aperture priority ) can be activated, in which an aperture value (2 to 22) can be selected instead of the energy level, for which the exposure is controlled via a sensor integrated in the flash unit. The range and focal length of the beam angle adjustment are displayed. This mode allows automatic flash control even with cameras that do not conform to the system.
Strobe flash and wireless control of multiple flash units. In another mode, which is indicated by a triple flash symbol, strobe-like multiple flashes are possible; the display shows flash frequency, number of flashes, energy level and zoom reflector mode. This means that fast movements can be represented as phases that overlap one another. For flashing with two or more flash units that already enable professional lighting effects, the Speedlite Di866 can be used both as a controlling main flash (“master”) on the camera and as a controlled servo flash (“remote”) set up elsewhere. Thanks to four selectable channels, several photographers can use this wireless flash remote control in the same location without interference and with individual programming of their servo flashes. Depending on whether the flash is the main flash or the servo flash, the color display shows “Master” or “Remote” and the relevant parameters.
In the “Customer Setting” service mode, which is marked in the overview by a wrench symbol, the photographer can make his basic settings, e.g. B. ISO sensitivity, distance displays in meters or feet, manual or automatic zoom reflector control, fill flash activation or waiting time until it switches off if it is not used for a long time. A particularly interesting basic setting is the calibration option for the TTL flash control called “MyTTL”, e.g. B. based on test shots, with which camera-specific influences can be eliminated and the photographer's individual wishes regarding the optimal exposure can be taken into account. To avoid red eyes when taking photos of people with a front flash, a pre-flash can be switched on. For taking pictures with a longer shutter speed and light sources moving in the image field, e.g. B. car headlights or taillights, flash synchronization can occur at the end of the exposure, rather than at the beginning, immediately before the second shutter curtain closes, so that the light trail follows the moving object instead of rushing ahead of it.
A burst mode HS (High Speed) enables flash photography with shutter speeds faster than 1/250 s with focal plane shutter cameras, which is particularly useful for flash brightening of fast-moving objects in daylight. Flash bracketing is also possible for difficult-to-assess flash lighting situations, i.e. three flash shots in quick succession with one normal flash each - and e.g. B. over- and under-dosed flash by 1/2 stop so that the photographer can later choose the most aesthetically successful shot from them.
A battery pack of four AA cells enables up to 150 flashes with full energy. The flash repetition time is only 3.5 seconds. The AA cells are all inserted into a removable battery holder in the same direction (positive pole to the cover), which reduces the risk of incorrect polarity and speeds up insertion. Since additional battery holders are available as accessories that the photographer can carry with fresh batteries, batteries can be changed extremely quickly. This can e.g. B. be advantageous for wedding or other photos of events and celebrations. For such applications, however, there is also a “Power Pack PRO 300” that can be connected externally via a spiral cable and is equipped with NiMH batteries and offers a capacity of 300 flashes in full energy and a flash repetition time of just 0.5 seconds.
Future-proof thanks to firmware updates via USB port. This extraordinary variety of functions, some of which are unique, will be able to be expanded or refined in the future. The Speedlite Di866 has a USB socket for connecting to a computer, with which firmware updates can be downloaded via the Internet if necessary.

Condition: A

The condition information refers to the cosmetic condition of the item and is marked from AA (like - ), to A+ (as new), A (lightly used), B (normally used), C (very heavily used) to D (extreme signs of use). .
If there is no "DEF" (defect) or "LIN" (lens damage) behind the condition information, all goods are in perfect technical condition and have been checked by me as far as possible. Defects or damage are also mentioned separately in the description, if they are known.

Tax class: 3

All prices include statutory sales tax, but due to various types of taxation, this cannot always be shown separately on the invoice. In tax class 1, the sales tax is shown separately on the invoice, in tax class 2 the reduced sales tax and in tax class 3 it is not possible to show the sales tax because the goods are subject to differential taxation, in accordance with § 25a USTG. acts.

Scope of delivery: As can be seen on the original picture(s) in the offer. Other accessories that are not shown are not and cannot be included in the delivery, as they are not available.
