14 Advanced Operation
14.1 Optical Trigger
Optical trigger can act as an alternative trigger mechanism from radio signal. It is very useful to
capture pre-flashes signals that are being emitted earlier than the flash sync. Setting pre-flash
triggered optical trigger with the delay timer (see Section 14.2) could manipulate the exact time
when you would like the flash start to fire.
Three optical trigger modes S1, S2 and S3 are available for selection:
S1: Triggering on the first pre-flash.
S2: Excluding pre-flashes and triggering on the main flash.
S3: Triggering on the delay timer (see Section 14.2) after the first pre-flash.
To activate optical trigger, press
Menu
and turn the selection dial to <OPTICAL SLAVE>. Press
OK
and turn dial to S1, S2 or S3. Press
Menu
again to leave.
The main screen in RX will show the status of Optical Trigger.
14.2 Delay timer
(Fig. 22)
Every V6 has a built in delay timer that could be configurable in RX mode. The delay timer
delays the trigger response for the time set by users. If you wish to fire the flash a bit later than
the first curtain sync to create a different light effect, delay timer is helpful for your creation.
1. Switch on V6 in RX mode, press
Menu
and turn the selection dial to <DELAY>. Press
OK
.
2. Turn dial to <SET>, press
OK
. Turn dial to set each digit and press
OK
to confirm and
pass to another digit.
