I’ve heard some rumours that some Coolpix models have been restricted to 5V! (see below for more details) Similarly, Nikon has specified 12V for their speedlight circuits… (though reader Steve Francesoni called Nikon.uk to check, and their tech rep said that his N80 was good to 250V - so there may be more complexity to this story). It contains a table of strobe trigger voltages, a few measured by myself but most contributed by readers of this site, along with some information about specific camera makes and the strobes that light them: Camera Info (as of around 2005)Ĭanon US has verified (to me, and here) that the Powershot G doesn’t like voltages over 6V. How much is too much? What voltage might my own strobe generate? This page tries to help answer those questions. For mechanical cameras, this is fine - but many newer, electronically-driven or digital cameras can be damaged by excessive strobe voltages. Some older strobes (and infrared strobe triggers) use high voltages in the trigger circuit. Is your old strobe safe to use on your new electronic camera? If you’re really in doubt, just get yourself a new Godox and be very happy. The list is still hosted here but rarely expanded. Many of the companies listed (and the links to the contributors) have been gone for years (Hi Monolta!). This list was originally compiled around 2001 to 2005, using generously crowd-sourced measurements.
