Manual Optical Slave Modes S1/S2

Using the manual optical slave feature, the VC-310N can be set to fire whenever it detects a light signal from
any flash. This works optically—when the VC-310N “sees” another flash firing, it will instantaneously fire
along with it. In order to ensure that the VC-310N fires at the correct time, there are two different slave modes
available: S1 and S2. In these modes, there is no TTL assistance for adjusting correct exposure. You will need
to set the slave settings independently.

In S1 Mode, the slave will fire on the first or any burst of light. Use this mode when the master is set
to manual.
