Slave flash units can be set up to a maximum of three groups (A, B, C).
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Single or several slave flash units can be allocated for one group. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a total of four groups including the master and other slave flash units in three groups, you can set the 
flash mode and flash output level compensation values separately for each group. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select one of the four available channels through which the master and slave flash units exchange 
data. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If another photographer uses the same type of wireless slave flash setup close by, your slave flash units 
may accidentally fire in sync with that photographer’s master flash unit. To avoid this, use a different 
channel number. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flash shooting in Advanced Wireless Lighting

!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Direct the light sensor window of the slave flash units toward the master flash.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a basic guide, the effective shooting distance between the master and slave flash units is approx. 10 m 
(33 ft.) or less in the front position, and approx. 7 m (23 ft.) at both sides. These ranges vary slightly 
depending on the ambient light. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure to place all slave flash units that are set in the same group close together.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Available functions to be set on the camera

!!

!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following functions are available when used with cameras so equipped. Set these functions on the 
camera. They cannot be set on the ZR-45 directly. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For detailed information regarding camera functions and settings, refer to your camera user’s 
manual. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto High-Speed Sync mode

!

!

!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High-Speed flash synchronization at a compatible camera’s highest shutter speed is possible.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Auto High-Speed Sync mode is automatically set when the shutter speed exceeds the camera’s sync 
shutter speed.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is useful when you want to use a wider aperture to achieve shallow depth of field to blur the 
background without worrying about sync shutter speed.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto High-Speed sync also operates in the Advanced Wireless Lighting mode. Available flash modes are E-
TTL, Auto Aperture flash with monitor pre-flashes, Non-TTL auto flash with monitor pre-flashes, Distance-
priority manual flash, and Manual flash when using a single flash unit.
