Using Your VX-710C as a Wireless Manual Slave
Using Your VX-710C as a Wireless Manual Slave
The VX-710C is equipped with a wireless (optical) manual slave function, allowing you to fire the flash
remotely. Using the optical slave feature, the VX-710C can be set to fire whenever it detects a signal from the
master flash. This works optically—when the VX-710C sees another flash firing, it will instantaneously fire
along with it.
Important terms:
Here are the terms you’ll need to be familiar with in order to learn how to work with multiple
wireless flash units:
Master:
This can be any flash that is triggered by the camera, such as a built-in or hot-shoe mounted flash.
The master controls how the slave flashes operate in wireless mode. Only one master flash is allowed in a
multiple-flash photography setting.
Slave or remote flash:
Flash units that are not directly connected to the camera and are controlled via the
master flash or a controller are called slave or remote units. There is no limitation on the number of slave flash
units that can be used at once.
