Some cameras support the AF measuring beam in the flash unit only with the

camera’s central AF sensor. If a peripheral AF sensor is selected, then the AF

measuring beam will not be activated in the flash unit.

19 Wireless P-TTL - remote system

The wireless P-TTL remote system consists of a Master or Controller flash unit on

the camera and/or the built-in camera flash (see the camera's operating

instructions) and one or more Slave flash units. The Slave flash unit(s) are con-

trolled via wireless technology by the secondary reflector of the Controller or

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

exposure of the shot.
When the master function is activated, the built-in camera flash controls the

Slave unit(s) with its flash light and at the same time contributes to exposing the

shot.
When the controller function is activated, the built-in camera flash only controls

the Slave unit(s) with its light. The light of the Controller does not contribute to

the exposure of the shot.
The light of the Slave flash unit is controlled by wireless technology via flash pul-

ses from the Controller or Master flash unit on the camera (P-TTL remote).
To prevent multiple remote systems in the same room from interfering with one

another, there are four independent remote channels to choose from (Channels

1 to 4). Master and Slave 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 or Controller flash unit using the integrated remote

mode sensor ቤ .

When the controller or Slave flash unit are set to remote flash mode, the
flash range is not indicated on the flash unit's display.
