Setting Up Groups
You use the Group settings to control the
remote Speedlights individually, so the out-
put of each group can be varied to achieve
the desired lighting pattern. Whether you
have one Speedlight in a group or one hun-
dred, all of the Speedlights in that particular
group will function the same. This includes
the flash mode and any exposure compen-
sation that has been set.
The Group setting must be set
on each individual Speedlight
in order for them to function
properly.
