General:
• In general, the design can be checked by pressing “AEL” on the camera. The slave flash unit must answer with a time-delayed flash.
• The slave flash units must be able to receive the light from the controller flash unit with the integrated sensor for the remote mode

ቤ .

• Once the slave flash unit is ready, its AF measuring beam

ቮ will start blinking.

• The light conditions in the remote system can be set in the “TTL” mode. For this purpose the desired group (“RMT” or “RMT2”) or Master (”M”) can be selected via

the

button. The mode can now be set with the

button and the weighting (1, 2, 4, 8, 16) with the

and

keys.

Effect

The light output of the flash units is divided into
14 parts (2 + 4 + 8).

Consequence:

The weighting of the light output then occurs as follows

M TTL . . . . .2/14
RMT . . . . . .4/14
RMT2 . . . . .8/14

• The slave flash units in the slave groups RMT and RMT2 automatically work in the "TTL" mode, unless the "M" mode was manually set on the particular slave flash

unit. On the controller flash unit (Master) the “TTL” or “M” modes or no mode can be set. If no mode is set, the controller only controls the slave flash units and
releases almost no light for the actual exposure.

• Partial light levels can also be selected in the “M” mode
• The high-speed synchronisation HSS (TTL HSS or M HSS) cannot be set via the slave flash unit. High-speed synchronisation is automatically activated if necessary

via the slave flash unit when flashing for the duration of the shot if a shutter time below the camera's high-speed sync time is set on the camera (see camera ope-
rating instructions).

• The remote channel can be set on the external controller or on the slave flash unit. For this purpose the

button must be pressed repeatedly until only “CH”

or “CHANNEL” and the remote channel are displayed. Press

and

to perform the desired settings. You can select channels 1, 2, 3 or 4. The setting will

take effect immediately. Press

key repeatedly until the original display reappears. If the

key is not pressed, the display will switch back automatically

after approximately 5 seconds.

• The flash range is not indicated in the remote mode! The flash unit's main reflector

ቨ is automatically moved into the 24 mm position in Remote Mode to illumi-

nate as broad an area as possible. The zoom position of the main reflector can be manually changed as required (see 6.2).
