ķ
So that multiple remote systems in the same room do not interfere with one anot-
her, there are four independent remote channels available (CH 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Master, controller and slave flash units belonging to the same remote system must
be set to the same remote channel. The slave flash units must be able to receive
the light from the master or controller flash unit with the integrated sensors for
the remote mode
ቦ.
Depending on the camera model, the camera’s internal flash unit can also
function as master or controller flash unit. Please consult the respective
camera operating instructions for further tips on setting the master or con-
troller flash unit.

master or controller flash unit!
• With the remote slave mode activated, press the button combination „Select“
until „CH“ (= remote channel) flashes in the display.
• Apply the setting desired with the buttons ( + ) and ( - ). Selection of group 1,
2, 3 or 4 is possible.

“ appears in the display. In addition, the slave group (GROUP) selec-
ted and the remote channel (CH) are shown.
Testing remote flash mode
• Place the slave flash units in the desired positions for the shot. Use flash unit
mounting foot W-F127 to set up the slave flash unit.
• 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 settings
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.
The flash mode is transmitted automatically by master or controller. When
the flash unit functions as master in the cordless remote system, the acti-
vation of the modelling light also activates the modelling light of slave
flash units
