•Fit the 40
• Press the manual firing button | on the controller attached to the camera, |
and fire a test flash. |
|
•The slave will respond with a delayed flash, thereby indicating that it is ready for operation. All slave units simultaneously acknowledge operating readiness when several slaves are being jointly used. If you find that a slave unit does not res-
pond, this may indicate that the sensor | on the slave did not receive a light pul- | |
se. Turn the flashgun in such a manner that the sensor | can receive the light | |
pulse from the master flash (controller). Now fire another test flash. A particularly short distance between master flash and slave can result in over- modulation of the sensor. In this case widen the distance and repeat the test flash.
