flash and the main flash is longer than 45 ms. This set- ting applies to most digital cameras. Digital cameras with different flash parameter settings usually offer the possibility to adapt the flash delay time. This may re- quire the testing of several different settings.

With some digital cameras the time between the measuring preflash and the main flash is shorter than 45 ms. To ensure that the slave flash unit can also be used with such cameras, the flash delay time has to be shortened. Other digital cameras operate with two clearly differing preflashes. The flash delay time of such cameras has to be lengthened.

Setting procedure to adapt flash delay

Turn off the flash unit by its main switch.

Simultaneously keep the “MODE” and pre- select key depressed.

Turn on the flash unit by its main switch. The

symbol flashes on the LC display and the adjusted flash delay time is indicated in ms.

The flash delay time can be reduced or leng- thened with the “-” and “+” keys. The setting range covers 5 ms to 255 ms.

Depress the pre-select key to terminate the setting.

Test the slave mode with the changed setting. If the flash unit is not triggered at the desired time, then set a different flash delay time.

Please consult the technical support service of the camera manufacturer if you have any questions concerning the flash technology of your camera.
