SB-600 Custom Settings Menus

The Custom Settings Menus (CSM) on the SB-600 are frustratingly difficult to understand and follow. It isn’t always clear what menu you are in or what item you actually select. Unfortunately, you need to memorize some simple hieroglyphics to make heads or tails of CSM.

To get into CSM, hold down the ZOOM and – buttons simultaneously for two seconds (figure 4.39). You will know you are in CSM when all other data disappears from the LCD panel.

To navigate between menu screens, press the + or – button. The number of custom settings varies depending on how you configure the flash. For example, when you set up the flash as a Remote unit, the menus will be different from the ones you see when you configure the flash as a Dedicated TTL unit.
