Modeling Lamp Wireless On / Off
The modeling lamp of connected sender/receiver units turns on and off in response to
pressing the sender <
> button when the EL-5 is a sender or receiver. This way,
you can check subject shadows created by multiple Speedlites simply by operating the
sender. Pressing the sender camera shutter button completely also turns off the modeling
lamp of receivers.
Caution
When sender flash firing is disabled, the <
> button does not activate the
sender modeling lamp.
Modeling lamps of firing groups set to <
> flash mode and other non-firing
groups are not activated.
Any changes to flash modes or firing groups while a modeling lamp is on do not
alter the current illumination status of the lamp. Before changing these settings,
turn off the sender modeling lamp as needed.
Note
Receiver modeling lamps can be turned on or off even by a sub-sender.
Brightness and duration of modeling lamp illumination depends on the settings of
each receiver.
As an indicator of modeling lamp illumination commands, <
> (1) on firing group
control information does not necessarily correspond to the current status of
receiver modeling lamps.
