Flash modes and functions
Take care not to let light from the remote flash unit enter the camera
lens directly or indirectly in i-TTL auto flash mode. Also, prevent light
from entering the master flash unit’s light sensor window for Non-TTL
auto flash (in Auto Aperture or Non-TTL auto flash mode). Otherwise,
the correct exposure cannot be obtained.
There is no limit to the number of remote flash units that can be used
together. However, when using many remote flash units, light may be
unintentionally picked up by the light sensor of the master flash unit
and interfere with correct operation. The practical number of remote
flash units for wireless multiple flash shooting are three. In Advanced
Wireless Lighting, for practical purposes, the number of remote flash
units should be limited to three for one group.
Use the provided Speedlight Stand AS-21 for stable placement of the
remote flash units.
Be sure to perform test firing after setting up all flash units.
