When mounted on a CL5-compatible camera, the 5U-800 can be used as a

~ Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon flash units. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory
shoe could
not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or
flash. Before using a Nikon flash
unit not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized
service representative for more information.

Guide Number
To calculate the range of the flash at full power, divide the Guide Number by the aperture. For
example, at ISO 100 the 5B-800 has a Guide Number of 38 m or 125 ft. (35 mm zoom head
position); its range at
an aperture off/5.6 is 38.,.5.6 or about 6.8 meters (or in feet,
125.,. 5.6=approximately
23 ft. 7 in.). For each twofold increase in ISO sensitivity, multiply the
Guide Number by
the square root of two (approximately 1.4).
