Illuminating a distant subject

When light from the master flash unit is not strong enough to illuminate a
subject at a distance with a single flash unit (or the camera’s built-in
Speedlight), you can use several Speedlights in combination to produce
pictures with a properly illuminated subject.

Effective Speedlight Placement

—continued

• Position the slave flash unit at the side of the

camera and master flash unit (as illustrated). The
optional SK-7 bracket (p. 56) enables you to easily
set the slave flash unit to the side of the camera
and master flash unit.

• For calculating the compound guide number, see

"Guide number" on p. 33.
