A remote system consists of a master or controller flash unit on the camera and one or more slave flash units. The slave flash unit is wirelessly remotely controlled by the master or controller flash unit. Unlike a controller flash unit, with a master flash unit, the flash contributes to the exposure.

This can create interesting light accents – or with the use of several slaves the split lighting of subject and background.
