21 Wireless remote operation

Wireless remote operation is compatible with the Nikon Advanced Wireless

Lighting system. In this system, the exposure of one or more slave flash units is

controlled remotely by a master flash unit on the camera. The slave flash unit(s)

is/are triggered by wireless remote control by the secondary reflector of the

master flash unit. The light of the secondary reflector does not contribute to the

exposure of the shot in this case.
The slave flash unit is assigned to one of three possible groups (A, B or C). Each

of these groups may consist of one or more slave flash units. The flash modes

TTL or manual M can be set for each group separately on the master flash unit.
So that multiple remote systems in the same room do not interfere with one

another, there are four independent remote channels available. Master and sla-

ve flash units belonging to the same remote system must be set to the same

remote channel. The slave flash units must be able to receive the light from the

master flash unit with the integrated photo sensors.

Remote flash operation also supports second curtain synchronisation.
The secondary reflector is not supported by remote flash operation. In
remote flash mode the maximum flash range is not indicated on the flash
unit’s display panel.
