AFlash Compensation

The flash compensation value selected with the M (Y) and E(N) buttons and command dial is added to the flash compensation values selected for the master flash, group A, and group B in the Commander mode menu. A Yicon is displayed in the viewfinder when a flash compensation value other than ±0 is selected for the master or remote flash units in TTL or AA mode. The Y icon flashes when the master flash is in mode M.

DCommander Mode

Position the sensor windows on the remote flash units to pick up the light from the master flash (particular care is required if the camera is not mounted on a tripod). The remote flash units should normally be placed closer to the subject than to the camera. 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 master flash from appearing in photographs taken at short range, choose low ISO sensitivities or small apertures (high f-numbers) or rotate the flash head on the master flash to point upwards. 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.
