Positioning the Slave and Remote Flash Units
Positioning the Slave and Remote Flash Units
You can create various professional lighting setups by
positioning slave units individually or in groups to function as
main, fill, accent, and other lights. Metering your scene with
a handheld light meter and setting your light ratios to achieve
specific looks will give you a professional level of
creative control.
When positioning wireless slaves to light a subject, keep
in mind the following:
• The effective communication range between master and
slave flash units is approximately 33 feet (10 m) for outdoor
use, and up to 49 feet (15 m) when using the flash indoors.
These ranges may vary, depending on the ambient light for
the optical communication.
• The flash head should not be aimed directly into the
camera lens.
