mFlash Compensation
The flash compensation value selected
with
the

button
and sub-
command dial
is
added
to
the flash compensation values selected for the
built-in flash,
group
A,
and group B in the Commander mode menu. A

is
displayed in the control panel and viewfinder when a flash
compensation value other than

The

Commander
Mode
Position
the
sensor windows on the remote flash units
to
pick up
the
monitor
preflashes from the built-in flash (particular care
is
required when
not
using a tripod).
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
(AA
mode),
as
this may interfere
with
exposure.
To
prevent
timing
flashes emitted by the built-in flash from
appearing in photographs taken at short range, choose
low
ISO
sensitivities or small apertures (large f-numbers) or
use
an
optional
SG-3IR
infrared panel for
the
built-in flash.
An
SG-3IR
is
required for best results
with
rear-curtain sync, which produces brighter
timing
flashes. After
positioning the remote flash units, take a test shot and view the results in
the camera monitor.
Although there
is
no
limit
on the number
of
remote flash units
that
may
be used, the practical maximum
is
three. With more than this number, the
light
emitted by
the
remote flash units will interfere
with
performance.
