Checking remote flash operation
• Remove the slave flash unit from the camera and open up the camera's inte-
grated flash unit.
• Place the slave flash unit in the position required for the subsequent shot.
Use flash unit stand S60 (optional extra) to set up the slave flash unit.
• Wait until the slave flash unit and the camera's integrated flash unit are ready
for operation. When the slave flash unit is flash-ready, its AF meter flash
starts flashing.
• Take a test picture and check whether the slave flash unit is triggered or, in the
case of several slave flash units, whether all the flash units are triggered.
• If the slave flash unit does not trigger a flash, correct the position of the slave
flash unit to enable it to receive the light sent by the controller flash unit or
reduce the distance between the controller and slave flash unit.
• Once successful test flash operation has been checked, you can start taking
photographs.
