Using a flash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless 

shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced wireless 

multiple flash lighting, in the same way as TTL autoflash shooting.
The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in 

the picture. You can then perform wireless TTL autoflash shoot-

ing just by setting the master unit to < 

TTL 

>.

Slave/Master Unit‘s Positioning and Operation Range

Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit

•  Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.
•  Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting.
•  The transmission distance might be shorter depending on 

the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the sur-

rounding environment and weather conditions.

Transmission distance is about 30m.

Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting

You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and per-

form TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In ad-

dition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each 

firing group, for up to 3 groups.
•  Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups

•  Auto Shooting with Three Slave Groups
