37
Setting the slave mode: Depending on your camera and ash settings, the master ash may emit more than
one burst of light in quick succession (called a “pre-ash”). Pre-ash is used to help the camera meter and/or
focus, and is done automatically by the camera. If the slave ash is not set correctly, it may be triggered by the
pre-ash and re before the camera’s shutter opens. In order to ensure that the VX-710C res at the correct
time, there are two different slave modes available: modes S1 and S2.
To select the correct slave mode, follow these steps:
1. Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the ash modes until the S1 or S2 icon appears on the
LCD.
A. The S1 icon (
) has one arrow to indicate that the slave ash unit will re on the rst burst of
light. Use this mode when the master ash is set to manual mode.
B. The S2 icon (
) has two arrows to indicate that the slave ash unit will ignore the preash
and will re on the second burst of light. Use this mode when the master ash is set to TTL or
automatic modes.
2. Press the left and right navigation buttons to set the ash output, and the up and down navigation buttons
to ne-tune (see Using the Manual Flash Mode on page 26).
