Attaching the AS-20 to the SX-1
1
Holding down the Mounting button on the SX-1,
slide the AS-20 into the SX-1 as shown in the
illustration. Remove your finger to secure it.
•
Press both Mounting buttons firmly to attach.

Setting up the SB-R200
Set up the SB-R200 flash units as shown in the diagram below.
•
In most cases, position the
SB-R200 closer to the
subject than the camera, so
that light from the
Commander flash unit (such
as camera or Speedlight)
can reach the light sensor of
the remote flash unit(s). This
is particularly necessary
when holding a remote flash
unit in your hand.
•
Data communication cannot
be performed properly if
there is an obstacle
between the Commander
unit and the SB-R200.
•
The effective shooting distance between the Commander and the SB-R200 varies
depending on the Commander unit (such as a camera or Speedlight) in use. Refer to the
user’s manual of each product.
•
Be sure to place all SB-R200 units that are set in the same group close together.
•
Take care not to let light from the SB-R200 enter the camera lens directly or indirectly in
TTL auto flash mode. Otherwise, the correct exposure cannot be obtained.
•
There is no limit to the number of SB-R200 units that can be used together. However, if too
much light from other SB-R200 units enters the light sensor of the Commander unit,
correct operation may be impossible. In practice, the number of remote flash units should
be limited to three for one group.
•
Be sure to test fire after setting up all flash units (p. 88).
