Settings on the remote flash units

In the Advanced Wireless Lighting mode, set the following items on the remote
flash units.

Communication channel

Select one of the four available channels. Be sure to set
the same channel number for both the master flash unit
and remote flash units

Group name

A maximum of 3 groups (A, B, C)

• Set the remote flash units’ flash modes and flash output level compensation values on

the master flash unit.

• If wireless repeating flash has been set on the master flash unit, remote flash units such

as the SB-600 will also perform repeating flash operation.

• If a photographer uses the same type of wireless remote flash setup near you, your

remote flash units may accidentally fire in sync with that photographer’s master flash
unit. To avoid this, use a different channel number.

• Refer to your Speedlight instruction manual for information on master flash unit settings.
