19.3 Settings on the slave flash unit

• Use the

key to select, in succession, the settings for choice of slave

group („Group“), the remote channel („Channel“) and the reflector position
(„Zoom“). Use the

and

keys to set the desired slave group or remote

channel and the zoom position of the reflector.

The slave flash unit must be adjusted to the same remote channel as the
master flash unit! The slave operating mode (E-TTL remote or manual
remote) cannot be set on the slave flash unit, because this is controlled
automatically by the master flash unit!

• Press

to save your settings. If the key

is not pressed, the settings will be

saved automatically after approximately 5 seconds.

19.4 Testing remote operation

• Place the slave flash units in the desired positions for the shot.
• Wait for all of the flash units involved to become flash ready. The AF measu-

ring beam will also blink on the slave flash units when they are flash ready.
Activate audio signals (beep) if desired (see 7.2).

• Press the manual firing button

ቲ on the master flash unit to fire a test flash.

The slave flash units will respond in succession, according to slave group, with a
test flash. If a slave flash unit fails to fire a test flash, check the settings for remote
channel and slave group. Correct the position of the slave flash unit so that it is
able to receive the light from the master flash unit.
