7. Using as Slave Flash
The electronic flash is equipped with the slave function. In this function
you can emit the flash by synchronizing it to the emission of another flash.
1 Connect this flash to the flash to which you want to synchronize it using the
underwater fiber optic cable.
2 Press the MODE button of the electronic flash repeatedly to set the flash
control mode to [SL AUTO] or [SL MANUAL].
[SL AUTO] : While holding the MODE button pressed down, turn
the dial to set the ISO sensitivity. Set the dial according
to the aperture value of the lens.
[SL MANUAL] : Turn the dial to set the guide number (GN).
3 Setup the camera in the following way.
• Set cameras with slave mode to slave mode.
• Set cameras with manual flash emission mode to manual flash
mode. This setup will function also if you attach an external flash
with manual flash emission mode to the camera.
CAUTION
• The slave flash mode cannot be used with cameras that perform a pre-
flash because the electronic flash will be emitted simultaneously with the
pre-flash.
• If other photographers are shooting using flash, the electronic flash may
react to those lights and be emitted.
• The firing angle of the flash cannot be controlled automatically so be sure
to check it beforehand. Pressing the ZOOM button on the electronic flash
once will display the firing angle for about 2 seconds. You can change the
firing angle by pressing ZOOM again while the current firing angle is
displayed. Verify whether the firing angle setting is appropriate or not by
performing a test shot.
