Special equipment for the Nissin MF18 flash
Unique Fine Macro mode
Revolutionary Fine Macro technology enables precise Unique Fine Macro mode for flash output from 1/128 to 1/1024 of full power (in 1/6 EV steps) for maximum lighting accuracy. When using the manual mode, the lighting can be set from full power to 1/64 full power in 1/3 EV increments. This mode helps achieve consistent results when taking complicated pictures.

Flash lamp design Nissin MF18, round macro flash, Flash lamp design
Tube lamps are used to achieve uniform illumination. The flash output can be set according to the lighting conditions independently for both sides of the flash.
Expandable flash headExpandable flash head
The circular flash head can be adapted for use on lenses with a filter thread with a diameter of 49 to 82 mm. Extending the flash head eliminates the problem of vignetting and shaded edges when taking macro shots. The flash delivery includes reduction rings in diameters of 52, 58, 62, 67, 72 and 77 mm (reduction rings with a diameter of 49, 55 and 82 mm can be purchased separately).
TTL wireless mode TTL wireless mode
TTL wireless mode offers multifunctional flash remote control. The MF18 can be used as a Master Speedlight to control Group A and C * Slave Speedlights, including exposure compensation settings within ± 3 EV. This mode can be perfectly combined with Di866 Mark II / Di 622 Mark II flashes, etc.
* In TTL wireless mode, Group C is used in Slave mode and flash exposure compensation can be set independently. The MF18 supports groups A and C in Slave mode only. For example, when using the Di622 Mark II, set the flash for Slave mode to wireless communication channel 1 and group A.
Nissin MF18 flash firmware update
The MF18 flash allows you to update the firmware as needed via the USB service port and download the latest firmware versions.

My TTL SettingsMy TTL settings for Canon
TTL flash exposure control is precisely calibrated to Nissin standards. However, if the default exposure value needs to be adjusted to a certain level, it can be done within ± 3 EV in 1/3 EV increments.
Quick-change battery tray Quick-change battery tray
The battery compartment of the MF18 is the same as the Di866 and Di466 professional flashes. This practical battery tray allows you to insert all four AA pencil batteries in the same direction and is modified so that the batteries can be inserted correctly in low light.
Space with connectors for external devices
Connector for external power supply
The MS18 flash supports an external Nissin Power Pack PS300 source.
Contact X
The MF18 is equipped with an X-pin connector for syncing with a standard sync cable for connecting the flash.
USB service port
The MF18 flash is equipped with USB port for firmware updates.
Second-Shutter Sync and Short-Shutter Sync When second-shutter sync is used, the flash fires immediately before the shutter is closed. With this function, in combination with slow shutter speeds, you can display light lines created by moving the subject correctly in the direction of the subject's motion when shooting moving subjects with their own light source. Synchronization with fast shutter speeds is also available when using the flash in daylight.
* Available in TTL mode only
