☞Bright ambient light and/or a large aperture opening can result in the slave’s sensor re- ceiving only an incomplete light pulse be- cause the electronic circuit of the controller interrupts light emission prematurely. In this case stop down the lens aperture or mount a neutral density filter on the lens.
The slave will only react to a light pulse from the controller. Flash units from other photographers working within the same area will not trigger the slave unit.
The slave will not indicate flash readiness and ma- ximum flash range in the cordless Metz Remote
Flash Mode. Only the controller’s display is rele- vant for exposure indication.
