Troubleshooting Guide

Optical Transmission Wireless Flash Photography

Receivers do not fire, or mistakenly fire at full output.

When using the flash as a sender, select

[Wireless:Optical

transmission]

on the camera (p.44). When using the flash as a

receiver, set the channel switch to the same channel as set on the

sender (p.44).

Make sure the receiver unit is within the transmission range of the

sender unit (p.42).

Point the wireless sensor of the receiver unit toward the sender unit

(p.42).

Position the receiver unit at a location with the clearest possible view

of the sender unit.

If the sender unit and receiver unit are too close, the transmission may

not take effect properly.

When using the camera’s built-in flash as the sender unit, raise the

camera’s built-in flash, and set

[Wireless func.]

on the camera’s

[Built-in flash settings]

screen.

The sender fires.

The sender fires even when

[Sender flash firing]

is set to

[Disable]

,

in order to control receivers optically (p.44).

Pictures are overexposed.

When using autoflash with groups A, B, and C, do not aim flash units

in group C at the subject (p.52).
