7. Using as Slave Flash

The electronic flash is equipped with the slave function. In this function

you can emit the flash by synchronizing it to the emission of another flash.

1 Connect this flash to the flash to which you want to synchronize it using the

underwater fiber optic cable.

2 Press the MODE button of the electronic flash repeatedly to set the flash

control mode to [SL AUTO] or [SL MANUAL].

[SL AUTO] : While holding the MODE button pressed down, turn

the dial to set the ISO sensitivity. Set the dial according

to the aperture value of the lens.

[SL MANUAL] : Turn the dial to set the guide number (GN).

3 Setup the camera in the following way.

• Set cameras with slave mode to slave mode.

• Set cameras with manual flash emission mode to manual flash

mode. This setup will function also if you attach an external flash

with manual flash emission mode to the camera.

CAUTION

• The slave flash mode cannot be used with cameras that perform a pre-

flash because the electronic flash will be emitted simultaneously with the

pre-flash.

• If other photographers are shooting using flash, the electronic flash may

react to those lights and be emitted.

• The firing angle of the flash cannot be controlled automatically so be sure

to check it beforehand. Pressing the ZOOM button on the electronic flash

once will display the firing angle for about 2 seconds. You can change the

firing angle by pressing ZOOM again while the current firing angle is

displayed. Verify whether the firing angle setting is appropriate or not by

performing a test shot.
