Positioning and Test Firing

After setting up the wireless flash
system, position slave C as
shown in the left diagram.

• When indoors, position the slave unit

within 5 meters from the master unit.
When outdoors, position it within 3

meters. The slave unit should also be

within an 80-degree angle in front of
the master unit.

• Face the slave unit's transmission

sensor toward the master unit.

• Indoors, the transmission signals can

bounce off the walls so the slave unit's
positioning can be a little more flexible.

• Do not place any objects between the

master unit and slave unit which may

obstruct the wireless transmission.

Check that the master unit's pilot

lamp is lit and that slave C is

flash-ready.

► When the slave unit is flash-ready, its

AF-assist light will blink.
