Choose how the camera adjusts flash level when exposure compensation is used.

AThe Flash Sync Mode Display
M does not appear in the control panel flash sync mode display when –– is selected for Built-
in flash>Mode.
AFlash Compensation
The flash compensation value selected with the M (Y) button and sub-command dial is
added to the flash compensation values selected for the built-in flash, group A, and group B
in the Commander mode menu.
A Y icon is displayed in the control panel and viewfinder
when a flash compensation value other than ±0 is selected for Built-in flash>TTL.
The Y
icon flashes when the built-in flash is in mode M.
DCommander Mode
Position the sensor windows on the remote flash units to pick up the light from the built-in
flash (particular care is required if the camera is not mounted on a tripod).
Be sure that direct
light or strong reflections from the remote flash units do not enter the camera lens (in TTL
mode) or the photocells on the remote flash units (AA mode), as this may interfere with
exposure.
To prevent timing flashes emitted by the built-in flash from appearing in
photographs taken at short range, choose low ISO sensitivities or small apertures (high
f-numbers) or use an optional SG-3IR infrared panel for the built-in flash.
An SG-3IR is
required for best results with rear-curtain sync, which produces brighter timing flashes.
After positioning the remote flash units, take a test shot and view the results in the camera
monitor.
Although there is no limit on the number of remote flash units that may be used, the
practical maximum is three.
With more than this number, the light emitted by the remote
flash units will interfere with performance.
