Cautions
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote
fl
ash units.
Remote
fl
ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control
fl
ashes emitted by the supplied
fl
ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the supplied
fl
ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
