Nikon D1 Instructions For Use

The FlashWizard II System of Radios
LPA Design recognized a need by Sports Photographers many years ago for a system of radios
that would enable photographers to capture many images form a number of different locations
and angles using a single flash of light.
To capture multiple images from a single flash of light, you need to control the time that the
shutters open very accurately. The FlashWizard II radio measures the delay time from when
your camera is triggered to the time then your shutter outputs a sync pulse.
If it detects that there is a difference in time between other cameras used on the system, it will
automatically add or subtract the right amount of delay to make sure the camera’s shutter opens
at the same time as all the other cameras.
The FlashWizard II option for your radio enables your camera’s shutter to be precisely
controlled. The D1 family of cameras (D1, D1X, D1H) all have a shutter lag time variation of up
to 10ms. This is to much variation to enable synchronization with other cameras.
By adding a special control component and software to the radio (FlashWizard II option), your
radio module is able to make the camera’s lag variation less than 1.2ms. That’s a factor of 8
times more accurate!
Your D1 camera with FlashWizard II software will be able to take photos at the same time using
the same flash packs as you are using to fire Medium Format, 35mm, and other film type
cameras.
