: Group the remote flash units.

Choose a group (A or B).

There is no limit on the number of remote flash units that may be
used. The practical maximum, however, is three per group, as the
light emitted by the remote flash units will interfere with
performance if more flash units are used.

Remote flash photography

Position the sensor windows on the remote flash units to pick up the light
from the master flash. Particular care is required if the master flash is
mounted on a hand-held camera.

Be sure that direct light or strong reflections from the remote flash units
do not enter the camera lens (in [TTL] mode) or the photocells on the
remote flash units ([

q

A] mode). Otherwise light from the flash units may

interfere with exposure.

Even if [––] is selected for [Master flash] > [Mode], the master flash may
emit low-intensity timing flashes. These flashes may appear in
photographs taken at short range. This can be prevented by choosing low
ISO sensitivities or small apertures (high f-numbers).

After positioning the remote flash units, take a test shot and view the
results in the camera display.
