group („Group"), the remote channel („Channel") and the reflector position
(„Zoom"). Use the (-) and (+) keys to set the desired slave group or remote
channel and the zoom position of the reflector.

remote) cannot be set on the slave flash unit, because this is controlled
automatically by the master flash unit!

• 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).
• Press the manual firing button
The slave flash units will respond in succession, according to slave group, with a
test flash. If a slave flash unit fails to fire a test flash, check the settings for remote
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.
