When stronger flash output or more convenient lighting operation is
needed, increase the number of slave units and set it as a single slave
unit.
To add slave units, use the same steps as setting "automatic wireless flash
with a single slave unit". Any flash group can be set (A/B/C).
When the number of slave units is increased and the master unit flash
firing is ON, automatic control is implemented to make all groups of flashes
fire the same flash output and ensure the total flash output up is to
standard exposure.
The slave unit might be out of order or fire an unwanted flash due to the
nearby fluorescent lamp or computer screen.
● Press the depth-of-field preview button on the camera to fire a
modeling flash.
● If the slave unit’s auto power off function is workable, press the
master unit's test button to power it on. Please note that test firing is
unavailable during the camera's regular metering time.
● By making some settings, the auto AF-assist transmitter will not blink
after the slave unit's flash ready indicator is lightened. (C.Fn-AF/

The FEC and other settings that set on the master unit will also be appeared on the slave unit automatically. The
slave unit does not need any operation. Use the following settings to make wireless flashes according to the same
methods with normal flash shooting.
