Overview of multiple flash operation
Multiple flash photography allows you to create more natural-looking pictures by
using several flash units to emphasize the subject’s shape or eliminate shadows.
The following wireless multiple flash operations are available:
• It’s not possible to use different types of multiple flash operations together.
• Wireless multiple flash operation using Speedlights featuring CLS is called “Advanced
Wireless Lighting”.
• It is only possible to conduct multiple flash shooting in M (manual) mode using cords
when using cameras compatible with CLS and digital SLRs not compatible with CLS.
t Master flash unit and remote flash unit(s)
In this instruction manual, the flash unit mounted on the camera or the one
directly connected to the camera via a remote cord, such as the SC-17, SC-28
or SC-29, is called the master flash unit. All other flash units are called the
remote flash units.
