Setting manual partial light output levels in M-mode
Partial light output levels can be set manually on the transceiver in M-mode,
provided that the flash device supports this function. To set the light output
levels, proceed as follows:
Press button (2).
Screen page (3) will appear.
To select the remote group, press button A, B or C (1).
To increase the value, press the button next to ‘+’ (4).
To reduce the value, press the button next to ‘-’ (5).
To save the value, press the button next to OK (6).
Setting the flash ratio
When using flash ratios, all slave flash devices operate in TTL-mode. The
transceiver’s screen page will not indicate that TTL or M-mode are in effect.
When working with several slave flash devices, the flash ratio between the two
remote groups (A and B) can be set manually on the transceiver. Remote group C
can also be effectively incorporated in the flash exposure. The remote groups
can be selected as follows:
• A:B (only remote group A and B will be controlled, not group C)
• A:B C (remote groups A, B and C will be controlled)
The flash ratio between remote groups A and B can be adjusted between 1:8 or
8:1, e.g. for flash exposure A:B=1:4, remote group B will flash with four times the
output compared to remote group A. Remote group C can also be activated if
required. Remote group C can be set up with a manual flash exposure correction
of -5.0EV up to +5EV.
