Using a PC sync cable to trigger your flash
You can connect the PC sync cable to your flash and camera so your flash fires when the camera shutter opens.
To use a PC sync cable to trigger your flash:
1
Plug the PC sync cable into the
SYNC
jack on your flash.
2
Plug the other end of the cable into the camera’s PC sync jack.
Note:
If the PC sync cable does not fit in the camera's sync jack, you need an adapter cable (not provided).

Take a picture. The camera shutter opens and your flash fires simultaneously.
Using an additional slave flash
Your studio flash kit comes with two flash heads and stands. You can use one flash head as the master flash and the
other flash head as a slave flash.
To use a slave flash:
1
If you are not connecting the PC sync cable or using the remote trigger to the main flash head, position the light
sensor on the main flash head so it has a clear line-of-sight to the camera.
Note:
You can use the remote trigger or PC sync cable to connect the main flash to the camera. In this setup,
make sure that the slave flash has a clear line-of-sight to the master flash and that the slave mode on the slave
flash is set to
Fire on flash
.
2
Press the
SLAVE
button on the slave flash one or more time to select a slave mode. The slave indicator lights.
You can select:
•
Fire on flash
—The slave indicator changes to blue and the slave flash fires when the master flash fires.
•
Anti-preflash
—The slave indicator changes to red and the slave flash ignores the camera preflash and fires on
the second flash from the camera. The indicator lights red.
•
Slave flash off
—The slave flash does not fire. The flash indicator is off.

Take a picture. When the camera flash fires, the master flash fires and triggers the slave flash simultaneously.
