flash and the main flash is longer than 45 ms. This set-
ting applies to most digital cameras. Digital cameras
with different flash parameter settings usually offer the
possibility to adapt the flash delay time. This may re-
quire the testing of several different settings.
With some digital cameras the time between the
measuring preflash and the main flash is shorter
than 45 ms. To ensure that the slave flash unit can
also be used with such cameras, the flash delay time
has to be shortened. Other digital cameras operate
with two clearly differing preflashes. The flash delay
time of such cameras has to be lengthened.
Setting procedure to adapt flash delay
• Turn off the flash unit by its main switch.
• Simultaneously keep the "MODE" and
select key depressed.
• Turn on the flash unit by its main switch. The
symbol flashes on the LC display and the
adjusted flash delay time is indicated in ms.
• The flash delay time can be reduced or leng-
thened with the "-" and "+" keys. The setting
range covers 5 ms to 255 ms.
• Depress the
setting.
Test the slave mode with the changed setting. If the
flash unit is not triggered at the desired time, then
set a different flash delay time.
Please consult the technical support service of
the camera manufacturer if you have any
questions concerning the flash technology of
your camera.
