WIRELESS/REMOTE FLASH MODE

[3] Using the Wireless Remote

Flash Controller (p. 52).

The following two modes are avail- able.

•Use off-camera flash units (photo , p. 40).

•Use two off-camera flash units to pro- vide a light intensity ratio of 1:2 or 2:1.

Usable cameras and flash units:

•Maxxum/Dynax 9, 7, 800si, 700si, or 600si.

•A Wireless Remote Flash Contoroller and one or more 5600HS (D), 3600HS (D), 5400HS, 5400xi, or 3500xi.

Wireless Flash Range

The wireless flash uses a light signal from the built-in flash as a trig- ger to operate the off-camera flash unit. Follow the points below when positioning the camera, flash, and subject.

•Photograph in dark locations indoors.

•If you rotate the flashtube using bounce-flash function (p. 28) so that wireless/remote control-signal receiver points toward the camera, it will be easier for the flash to receive a signal from the camera.

•Install the off-camera flash within the gray area in the following dia- gram. See the flash unit manual for details of the distance between the flash and the subject (Table 2) for all except the 5600HS (D).

Do not place the flash directly behind the subject

Place the camera and flash unit within a 5 m radius of the subject

•The distances in the above table assume the use of ISO 100 film. If ISO 400 film is used the distances must be multiplied by a factor of two (assume a limit of 5 m).

•The flash range is not shown on the data panel with wireless flash.
