Using Your VC-310C as a Wireless Master or Slave
Using Your VC-310C as a Wireless Master or Slave
The VC-310C is equipped with advanced wireless ash functions, allowing you to re the ash remotely while
maintaining full TTL or manual control. In addition, the ash can be set to multiple channels and groups,
affording you a host of creative lighting possibilities.
Using the wireless optical system, you can trigger the ash from up to 49 feet (15.25 m) away. And you have
the ability to use the ash as a master or slave with selectable communication channels (1, 2, 3 and 4), as well
as 3 slave groups (A, B, and C). In addition, there is the capability to set specic exposure compensation or
power level values.
Important terms: Here are the terms you’ll need to be familiar with in order to learn how to work with
multiple wireless ash units.
Master: The master sends information to the slave ashes and controls each of the slaves’ power outputs,
but will not add light to the nal exposure. This can be the camera’s built-in ash, a ash unit mounted on the
camera, or a dedicated wireless controller. Only one master is allowed in a multiple-ash photography setting.
Note that not all cameras and ashes offer master capability.
