Cautions
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote fl ash units.
Remote fl ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control
fl ashes emitted by the supplied fl ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the supplied
fl ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
