Testing remote flash mode

• Wait for all of the flash units involved to become flash ready. Once the slave
flash units are flash ready, the AF measuring beam ቭ will blink.
• Press the manual firing button ቤ on the master or controller 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 unit fails to fire a test flash, check the set-
tings for remote channel and slave group. Correct the position of the slave
flash unit so that it is able to receive light from the master flash unit via the
sensor
ቦ.
The flash mode is transmitted automatically by master or controller.
When the flash unit functions as master in the cordless remote system,
the activation of the modelling light also activates the modelling light of
slave flash units ☞
