SLAVE FLASH SETUP

You can create a professional lighting setup by putting slave flash units into different groups to function as main, fill, accent, side, or other lights. Set the output power level of each group appropriately to achieve specific effects for your photographs.

While positioning the slave flash units, please keep in mind the following points:

(1)The effective shooting distance between the master and remote flash units is approx. 10m (33 ft.) or less in the front position, and approx. 5 to 7m (16 to 23 ft.) at both sides. These ranges may vary depending on the ambient light.

(2)Make sure that the TTL sensor (when using wireless TTL mode) or the optical slave sensor (when using the manual slave mode) of the slave flash units are facing the master flash or controller, and there is no obstruction in between.
