Positioning Remote Flash Units
Positioning Remote Flash Units
You can create a professional lighting setup by positioning
remote units singly 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 remote flash units is approximately 33 feet (10
meters) in the front position, and approximately 16 to
23 feet (5 to 7 meters) at both sides. These ranges may
vary, depending on the ambient light.
• The flash head should not be aimed directly into the
camera lens.
