Using Your VS-570F as a Wireless Manual Flash
Using Your VS-570F as a Wireless Manual Flash
For even greater creative control, you can set the output levels of your remote flash units manually.
Using the optical slave feature, the VS-570F can be set to fire whenever it detects a signal from the
masterflash. This works optically—when the VS-570F “sees” another flash firing, it will instantaneously fire
along with it.
Setting the remote flash units manually:
To set a VS-570F flash unit to function as a slave with the output
level selected manually, follow these steps:
1. In Manual mode, use the up and down buttons to select the power output (1 through 1/64).
2. Press the Mode button once to enter Slave mode. The slave mode [
S
] icon will appear on the
LCD display.
3. Set the slave mode as desired (See Setting the slave mode on page 29).
4. If desired, adjust the flash coverage angle by pressing the Zoom button repeatedly.
5. Make sure that the master flash on your camera is on and set to the appropriate mode. If you don’t want
the master flash to illuminate a subject in front of the camera, tilt the head upward.
