7 Flash synchronisation

The studio flash unit can be operated in three
different synchronisation modes:
1.Servo mode, triggered by the camera's own
flash
- without pre-flash.
- with pre-flash (e.g. red-eye function).
- Learn mode.
2.Mode with a synchronous cable.
3.Mode with a radio module (accessory).

7.1 Servo mode

Servo mode is a simple slave mode without
or with complete pre-flash suppression in
which the studio flash unit bl on triggers
a flash as soon as the camera flash unit
receives a light pulse.
Use an infrared clamp (accessory) if the
camera's own flash works as a controller, and
hence does not contribute to the illumination
of the motif.
Slip the infrared clamp over the camera's
own flash. The infrared part of the flash now
controls the studio flash unit.
