About Slave Group Control

If three slave units are all set to 

<

A

> in terms of slave ID, these 

slave units will be controlled as if 

they were one camera flash in 

slave group A.

● 

When setting < 

RATIO A:B C 

>, group A, B and C will fire a 

flash synchronously; when setting< 

RATIO A:B

 >, group C 

will not fire a flash.

● 

If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the 

main shooting subject, over exposure might occurred.

● 

In some EOS film cameras that support E-TTL autoflash, 

you cannot perform multiple flash wireless shooting with a 

flash ratio setting.
