It's supposed to address the overexposure issue which occurs when shooting in rapid succession w/ i-TTL. Another supposed fix is related to CLS; which I rarely ever use. Surprisingly, there is no mention of changing the threshold level where the overheating protection kicks on. Many wedding photographers, myself included, have had the SB-900 just stop working in the middle of shooting because the overheating protection unexpectedly kicks in. Needless to say, my Nikon flash count is still (4) SB-800 and only (2) SB-900 units.
