Remember the Essentials
Batteries are required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase batteries for this item.
The Nissin Di466 Hot Shoe Flash for digital cameras features cutting-edge photographic technology for Auto Focus and TTL auto exposure systems, with precision and stability. The TTL flash power level is pre-set for reasonable exposures at the factory, however, users can reset the power to customize the flash to meet individual needs. This flash is easy to use and is packed with features such as variable power settings, an Auto Focus assist beam, and a power zoom that can tilt for easy bounce flash. It comes with a battery magazine system for quick power changes. The magazine has slots for all four batteries in the same direction for loading quickly, even in poor lighting. Additional magazines are available (not included).
For Use With Canon Digital Cameras:
EOS 1D / 1Ds / 1D Mark II / 1Ds Mark II / 1D Mark IIN / 1D Mark III / 1Ds Mark lll / 5D Mark II / 5D / EOS 10D / 20D / 30D / 40D / 50D / EOS 300D / 350D / 400D / 450D / 500D / 1000D / Digital Rebel X / XT / XTi/ XSi
- TTL Flash
- Canon TTL, e-TTLII metering compatibility for precision and stability
- Own TTL Value
- The TTL flash power level is pre-set for reasonable exposure at the factory. You can, however, reset the power at the desired exposure level, in ±3/4EV by 1/4EV increments. The preset value is memorized as your personal standard after switching the unit off. This unique system for customizing your level settings, called "MY TTL", is a feature exclusive to Nissin. The usual TTL flash level compensation works based on this customized level.
- TTL Flash Level Compensation
- The power of the flash can be controlled with TTL flash level compensation. Whereas total exposure is controlled by the camera's EV compensation function, the flash can compensate for the exposure on the main subject only, with little impact on the exposure of the background scene. The flash power level can be adjusted from -1.5EV through +1.5EV by 0.5EV steps.
- Battery Magazine
- For quick battery loading, Di466 comes with a battery magazine system. A convenient battery magazine has the slots for all four batteries in the same direction, with an anti-reverse loading guide so that the batteries can be correctly inserted every time, even in poor lighting. An extra battery magazine is separately available.
- Silent Oscillation
- The oscillation circuit produces frequencies that are inaudible to humans. The sharp humming of the oscillator can cause irritation, which may be quite severe in certain settings.
- Dual Program Wireless Remote
- The wireless remote flash system of Di466 works for either analogue (single flash) and digital (pre-flash) flash systems. Variable power in six steps is available. Place the Di466 off the camera and the flash synchronizes with the master flash placed on your camera. This wireless remote flash system is called slave flash technology and is often used for a creative lighting efficiency. Use the camera's built-in flash, the manufacturers' original flash, or Di466 as the master flash. Place one or more Di466 flash units away from the camera. Off-camera flash photography offers a different lighting configuration. Use multiple Di466 flash units to achieve professional flash techniques.
- Power Zoom & Turning Flash Head
- Light distribution angle is automatically adjusted for the lens focal length. A high quality stepping motor sharply traces the lens movement with the same speed as that of the camera manufacturer's original flash. The flash beam covers the frame from 14mm (with a wide angle diffuser built-in) to 70mm of the digital lens. For a longer lens, the flash head reflector position stays at 70mm. It turns 90 degree upward for bounce lighting. The flash head also stores a small reflection panel for a fill-in shot. 1
- Energy Saving System
- The Di466 has a dual energy saving system. It automatically enters sleep mode when it's not in use for 5 minutes, and is reset with a touch of the shutter button or any button of the flash. If the unit is not in use for 30 minutes, it will automatically power off. With the flash unit set for slave mode, sleep mode is cancelled and the automatic turn off timing is prolonged to 60 minutes.
- Variable Power
- When selecting manual power operation, choose from one of the six variable powers for the best lighting effect. The power level is provided from full power down to 1/32nd power in 1.0Ev increments.
- AF Assist Beam
- In darkness or dim light conditions, the Di466 beams an orange LED light to create a sharp contrast to enable the camera's focus sensor to focus easily on the subject.
- Color Filter Guide
- The Di466 has a guide rail for filters. Color filters and density filters can slide into the slot provided at the front of flash window.
- Flash Power Lock System
- The Di466 is compatible with the cameras' FE lock system. Refer to the camera owners' manual for details.
- Rear Curtain Sync. System
- Some Canon cameras set the flash for rear curtain sync photography. The Di466 follows the command signal of these cameras.
- Firmware Update
- A firmware upgrade service is available for the Di466, which provides a service terminal to upload the latest software. A charge for the firmware update service will apply, varying depending on the area.
- Comes with full Nissin USA warranty

Very powerful flash. If you up the FEC you can take great wide angle low light photos that come out bright as day. Focus assist is more than adequate mounted on Canon 30D. I am very pleased with this purchase. The wireless remote flash works great for studio type photos. Having the ability to adjust the FEC when used as a slave really opens up the creative options. Well worth the price. Silent recharge is very fast.

Nice tool for a self-taught photographer like me. I get to add flash photography to my repertoire and not have a huge investment.
It recycles quick enough, though I have not needed to use this for capturing fast action. With its pro-like features (bounce flash, adjustable ratio, built in flash slave) it has been consistent, and I know what I am getting each time. This is a great way to learn on a budget.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
I was really blown away when I opened the box to this flash. I thought I would get a product that was cheaply made. In fact this flash is very well made. I chose this flash because I wanted a backup for just in case my main flash failed. It is easy to control from the camera and it is easy to slave. However you will not be able to use it with a separate set of poppers. On a final note, the recycle time is slow, so I would not use it for fast action photography.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
Have not had a chance to use it a lot since my purchase, but I found the flash controls to be easy to understand and implement. It seems to be well made (sturdy). I have practiced with it indoors and am very happy with the results. I think it is a very good choice for a starter flash.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
Only had it a week and already like it, as I can adjust the TTL output, or control it manually, neither of which is possible with the Canon 420 EX that cost twice as much. I used it for a portrait shoot (employees of a local business, for use in brochures, etc.) and it worked great.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
Great price for a compact unit that works perfectly with my S5. I'd been jonesing for a bounce flash ever since I switched to digital. I haven't even read the instructions, and I'm sure I could be doing a lot more with it, but for now, I'm happy to be able to point-and-shoot family photos with perfect natural lighting.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
at the price this is highly recommended as alternative to Canon units costing $250.
Works very well with my T2i with all functionalities available and fully controlled.
I am still learning all the tricks but very happy.
I gave it 5 stars taking price under consideration...otherwise may have given 4

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
Great product. I used it the first day at my house. Took photos of my new dog my daughter rescued. Photos came out fantastic. Easy to operate and a perfect fit for my older camera. Only drawback was loading the batteries. It was difficult putting the last battery in the slot. Afraid I was going to break it.But other that, the flash is great.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
I was needing a flash, didn't want to spend the money for the Canon unit. The Nissin is a surprisingly nice flash. Nicely built, recycle time is not bad, power is good. The built in diffuser works well as does the auto zoom. The only thing that would have been nice would have been manual zoom buttons. It only zooms straight on.
The slave works OK, sensor is in front which can be problematic. If you are behind the unit with the trigger flash it won't fire. I ended up using a cheap flash ($15) just to fire this unit for a couple of shots.
Overall, nice unit.

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
This flash is a very good value considering the features it provides. Exposure is consistent, and has been reliable. Perfect size. The only downsides to this flash is it doesn't swivel (which I knew before purchase) and the big reason I ended up returning and upgrading to the DI-622 was it wont accept radio triggers to fire. I mainly wanted fill for outdoor photos with the flash off camera and for creative lighting. On camera flash is necessary when required, but I try to avoid with fast lenses if possible. I contacted Nissin before my return, and they confirmed this model is not compatible with radio triggers. If you are unconcerned with remote firing (besides the optical slave) this flash is an excellent value. [...]

Comments about Nissin Di-466 Shoe Mount Digital Speedlight For Canon AF Cameras with E-TTL/E-TTLII:
I am a freelance reporter and hobby photographer. I use the flash to shoot evening sports events and interior shots for articles. I like the flexibility and ease of use. I like that it is compatible with my camera just by sliding it on. I am not to fond of the battery need, but will adjust to that...

I have only used this a few time but is has been perfect. It has performed exactly as I have needed it to and it is quiet. The multi-positions help reduce glare and let me direct the flash where I need it. It is much better than more expensive flashes I have owned.

I could not get my 5D to recognize this flash. It would not fire every time nor did it give the same exposure even though the lighting situation was the same. I returned it thinking it was defective the second di466 had the same problem. I had updated the 5D firmware hoping for the best but no success.I liked the flash fit and finish and features and the price so I was disappointed. [...]
