Synchronization
Synchronization between compact flash unit and camera can
be optionally achieved via sync cord, the built-in slave, or a
built-in radio receiver.
Synchronization via cord
The compact flash unit is connected to the camera via sync
cord by connecting the 6.3 mm jack plug to the camera’s sync
socket.
The synchronization process uses the latest semiconductor tech
-
nology and warrants reliable triggering of the flash unit even
when older camera models with mechanical contacts are used.
The lower voltage of the sync plug ensures safe and reliable
operation, also with the use of modern digital cameras.
