Visit our firmware updates page to get the latest information on firmware updates and how to install them. Some Nissin flashes require your flash to be shipped to our California facility to update. Other flashes have user-upgradeable firmware.
In general, Nissin firmware updates provide updated compatibility for new camera models and may fix functionality issues. If your flash is working properly with your current camera model, it is generally not necessary to update the flash's firmware.
Some camera manufacturers, including Sony, disable HSS when the flash head is moved to a bounce position because the higher power consumption of HSS's rapid fire flashing reduces the flash's effective range. This renders bounce flash ineffective under most conditions. Nissin follows each manufacturer's protocols with regards to allowing bounce flash when using HSS.
Why? Nissin set a 1/32 minimum power level when HSS is enabled because they determined lower power settings do not produce sufficient light to expose an image during a HSS exposure. This is because of how the HSS functions; in order to sync with faster shutter speeds the flash supplies the energy normally provided for a single flash and instead meters it out over a series of rapid, less powerful flashes. This results in less power, and therefore less light output for each of the individual flashes during a HSS firing sequence.
The Nissin MF18 Macro Ring Flash will go to sleep after 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery power, and it will fully power-off after 10-60 minutes of inactivity (depending on the flash's "Auto Off" setting).
You cannot disable the sleep mode on the MF18, but if the flash goes into sleep mode due to inactivity it will "wake-up" when you press the camera shutter button, or any of the buttons on the back of the flash's control unit.
Corrupted software can cause the MF18 to malfunction in Auto and TTL mode. If your MF18 suddenly and inexplicably starts overexposing or underexposing images, then try resetting the flash's software.
If you suspect the problem is the battery magazine, then please contact us directly for support. We will replace the part if the flash is under the Nissin's original factory warranty, or the part can be purchased separately for $19.95 on our website if the warranty has expired.
The MY TTL setting will adjust the flash output when using AUTO and TTL mode. Any adjustment made under the MY TTL setting will be in addition to compensation applied using TTL mode. For example, it's possible to achieve up to +6 f/stop when applying +3 to MY TTL and +3 to TTL compensation.
The Nissin i60A must be in group A, B, or C to communicate with the Nissin Air 1 Commander. Also, confirm that the Air 1 Commander and the i60A are set to the same channel. If they are on different channels the flash will not fire.
All Nissin NAS system flashes will emit an audio confirmation "beep" whenever a setting is changed. To mute this sound, simply press the on/off button on the Air 1 (A, B, or C must NOT be flashing). The color of the flash test button will change from orange (beep) to white (mute).
To use HSS on Canon, Sony, and Micro Four Thirds cameras you must activate the HSS function on your Nissin Air 1 Commander. To activate HSS on the Air 1 press the pilot button for 3 seconds until the button starts to blink (this button will blink while HSS is active). To deactivate HSS, press the pilot button again until the button stops blinking.
If the i60A is not responding to the 1/3 EV steps from the Air 10s Commander, but is responding to other commands from the Air 10s, then the i60A requires a firmware update. Please contact us for instructions about how to update the firmware on your flash.
When the batteries in your Nissin Air 1 or Air 10s Commander run down, the Commander may initially pair normally but then drop the connection. Put brand new or fully charged batteries in your Air 1 or Air 10s Commander and the flashes will stay connected without dropping the pairing.
If your Nissin Air 10s will not wake your Nissin Di700A flash from sleep mode, then your Air 10s or Di700A flash may have older firmware installed. Upgrading the firmware on your Nissin products will update the internal software to fix problems, add features, or add compatibility with new cameras.
The Nissin Di700A is an older model flash, and its firmware is NOT user upgradeable. To update the firmware on the Nissin Di700A you must send the flash to our offices in California. Please follow the instructions here to contact us about upgrading the firmware on your Di700A.
The flash is not broken. The modeling light power adjustment feature was disabled through a firmware update as most photographers want the light set to maximum and the power adjustment feature made the modeling light more awkward to use.
Yes. You can fire multiple flashes when using Nissin's MG10 remote shutter function to trigger the camera. Make sure that all flashes are paired with the Air 10s Commander, and that all of the assigned flash groups are activated on the Air 10s Commander.
To use the remote shutter trigger on the MG8 or MG10 you will need a compatible shutter release cable to connect the Air 10s to your camera's remote shutter terminal port. The Nissin Air 10s port requires a cable with a 2.5mm 3-pole (TRS) connection jack, but the end of the cable that plugs into your camera body varies depending on your camera model.
To check the firmware version installed on your Nissin MG60 you must first turn off the flash. Then press and hold the power button and the pilot light button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The three digit numerical code that appears on the LCD screen denotes the flash's firmware version, e.g. 002.
Yes, the MG80 Pro supports both flat top and button top type batteries. However, we recommend using button top batteries because this type includes built-in safety circuitry designed to protect the battery against over charging.
To activate / deactivate HSS on the Nissin i40 (Sony and 4/3 models only) press and hold the pilot light for 3 seconds. On Canon, Nikon, and Fuji camera systems HSS is activated through your camera menu.
To activate / deactivate HSS on the Nissin i400 (Sony and Olympus/Panasonic models only) press and hold the pilot light button for 3 seconds. On Canon, Nikon, and Fuji camera systems HSS is activated through your camera menu. When HSS is activated the white indicator light to the left of the M, A, TTL dial (Light A) will blink.
You have activated HSS (high-speed sync) on your Nissin i400. To activate / deactivate HSS on the i400 (Sony and 4/3 models only) press and hold the pilot light for 3 seconds. On Canon, Nikon, and Fuji camera systems HSS is activated through your camera menu.
To activate / deactivate HSS on the Nissin i600 (Sony and 4/3 models only) press and hold the pilot light for 3 seconds. On Canon, Nikon, and Fuji camera systems HSS is activated through your camera menu.
You have inadvertently activated HSS (high-speed sync) on your Nissin i600. To activate / deactivate HSS on the i600 (Sony, 4/3, and Fuji models) press and hold the pilot light for 3 seconds. On Canon and Nikon camera systems HSS is activated through your camera menu.
Resetting your Nissin flash or commander is a useful troubleshooting step and can sometimes solve issues. Please follow the instructions for your particular flash or commander model in order to reset your unit.

The guide number system, which manufacturers adopted after consistent-performing mass-produced flashbulbs became available in the late 1930s, has become nearly superfluous due to the ubiquity of electronic photoflash devices featuring variable flash output and automatic exposure control, as well as digital cameras, which make it trivially easy, quick, and inexpensive to adjust exposures and try again.[3] Still, guide numbers in combination with flash devices set to manual exposure mode remain valuable in a variety of circumstances, such as when unusual or exacting results are required and when shooting non-average scenery.
Different models of flash devices available on the market have widely varying maximum-rated guide numbers.[note 3] Since guide numbers are so familiar to photographers, they are near-universally used by manufacturers of on-camera flash devices to advertise their products' relative capability. However, such a practice demands industry-wide standardization of both the ISO setting and illumination angle underlying the ratings; this has only been partially realized. For the most part, manufacturers state guide numbers relative to a sensitivity of ISO 100.[4] However, manufacturers sometimes rate guide numbers at ISO 200, which makes them 41% greater.[5] Furthermore, the illumination angles underlying manufacturers' ratings vary greatly, which can make it particularly difficult to compare models.
Guide number distances are always measured from the flash device to the subject; if the flash device is detached from the camera, the position of the camera is irrelevant. Furthermore, unless a flash device has an automatic zoom feature that follows the setting of a camera's zoom lens, guide numbers do not vary with the focal length of lenses.
Note that manufacturers of flash devices may provide guide numbers ratings specified relative to ISO 200, which increases them by the square root of the difference, or a 41 percent increase relative to those given at ISO 100.[5] See Effect of ISO sensitivity, below. When comparing or shopping for flash devices, it is important to ensure that the guide numbers are given in the same ISO sensitivity, are for the same coverage angle, and reduce to the same unit of distance (meters or feet). When these three variables have been normalized, guide numbers can serve as an relative measure of intrinsic illuminating energy rather than an inconstant metric for calculating exposures.
