WIRELESS TLL SLAVE OPERATION

The ProMaster FL1 is equipped with advanced wireless TTL flash feature, so that it can be used off camera while still maintaining full TTL control. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following terms in order to understand how to work with multiple wireless TTL flash units:

 

 

Master

This can be the camera’s built-in flash, a flash mounted on the camera, or a dedicated

 

 

 

 

wireless controller. Only one master flash is allowed in a wireless multiple flash photogra-

 

 

 

 

phy setting. It controls how the slave flashes operate in wireless TTL mode.

 

 

 

 

Remote or

Flash units that are not directly connected to the camera, and are controlled by a master

 

 

 

Slave Flash

flash or controller are called “slave” or “remote” units. There is no limitation on the number

 

 

 

 

of remote units that can be used at one time.

 

 

 

 

Channel

Master and Slave units exchange data through channels. Four channels (1, 2, 3, 4) are

 

 

 

 

available in the flash. You can pick the channel you prefer for communication between the

 

 

 

 

master and remote flash units. You can use this option to prevent your remote flash units

 

 

 

 

from being triggered by the master unit of another photographer working with the system

 

 

 

 

nearby.

 

 

 

 

Group

You can assign remote flash units to one of the three groups (A, B, or C) and set the

 

 

 

 

mode and output power level of each group.
