19.4 Testing remote operation
• Place the slave flash units in the desired positions for the shot.
• Wait for all of the flash units involved to become flash ready. The AF measu-
ring beam will also blink on the slave flash units when they are flash ready.
Activate audio signals (beep) if desired (see 7.2).

on the master flash unit to fire a test flash.
The slave flash units will respond in succession, according to slave group, with a

channel and slave group. Correct the position of the slave flash unit so that it is
able to receive the light from the master flash unit.
