The manual (and the battery compartment says it's intended for 1.5 volt batteries. I didn't kill myself by putting it on top of my, anyway. It should be fine on Pentax cameras as well, even though Pentax of what a safe trigger voltage is in the hope that you'll go and buy one of their flash guns.

This is fine on Nikon digital SLRs, which are for 250 volts. I didn't set fire to any of the Canon cameras (film and digital) with which I tried it, and it worked fine, but you do this at your own risk. 10 volts is allegedly too high for Canon digital SLRs, which shouldn't use anything higher than 6 volts. The upshot is that you can point your flash head in just about any direction other than downwards. For when you just have to fire your flash directly behind you. The head also rotates 180° in one direction (anti-clockwise, looking from the top) and 160° (clockwise, looking from top) in the other. (Discussed further under.)

It does have a PC sync socket, but apparently requires a proprietary cable from Nissin, boo. It won't work on Sony Alpha digital SLRs, or post-1988 Minolta cameras, without an adapter. It'll fit pretty much every camera you're likely to be using in 2012 (but see below). Connection Standard ISO hot shoe, screwed down by a flimsy-feeling plastic ring. It won't work with Sony SLRs, because they use a proprietary flash shoe. The 360TW works better on digital SLRs than it ever did on film SLRs, in fact, because you can look at your LCD and see any exposure problems, rather than fooling around with bracketing or just hoping it worked properly.įor photographs in which you have the time to do this, the 360TW works great. Of course it doesn't work as well as a flash designed for your camera, because you will have to do manual calculations in your head to get flash exposure right, just like you would have to if you used one on a film camera. Jump to: Use with digital SLRs This is covered below, under, and below, but the upshot is: This will work with all Nikon, Pentax, and Canon digital SLRs. It's a great way of getting lots of flash power very cheaply (£25 or less). This is the Nissin 360 TW, a semi-automatic flash made in Japan in the early 1980s. Set the flash into manual modes so it won't do pre-flash. After I have detached my external flash (Nissin Digital Speedlite Di622), my Canon EOS 60D does not recognize the fact that the external flash is already detached.
