Applications of Advanced Functions

The applications below are unique ways to use the advanced functions of the

MultiMAX. Many of them require fine-tuning or adjustment to work with different

camera equipment. Always perform test exposures to insure reliable results.

Self-Timer or Cable Release

Delays, or Intervalometer and Multipop with a count of 1, can be used as a camera

timer for self portraits or as a trigger delay to reduce camera shake. Review Delay,

Intervalometer and Multipop sections for more information.

TTL / Auto flash Helper

W hen using an on-camera TTL flash or Automatic exposure flash with a remote flash

there may be situations where you do not want the rem ote flash to affect the TTL or

Auto flash sensor. The on-camera flash can underexpose by quenching early (turning

off too soon) because it m easu red the light from the remote flash. T he reverse of this

can also be undesirable. If the remote flash is in Automatic mode, it may quench too

early because it sensed the light from the on camera flash.

Using Delay mode can help solve this problem. Follow the steps below if using a TTL

or Automatic flash attached directly to the camera:

1. Attach the camera’s PC terminal to PORT 1 on a MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT

mode)

2. Attach manual or Automatic flash to MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE m ode)

3. On the MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) press ~/MENU A A B to enter the

set delay screen

4. Enter in a delay of 0.0020 (1/500)

5. Trigger the cam era normally

The on-camera flash will trigger immediately and have enough time to com plete its full

exposure. A fter the set delay time the remote flas h will trigger. T his operation is

dependent on camera sync speed and flash duration. The delay time of 0.0020

(1/500) will work with a focal plane shutter (35mm camera) at 1/125 shutter speed and

a flash duration not longer than 1/400.
