Shorter shutter times than the flash sync time can be set on the camera in remote operation only if the slave flash unit is not mounted on the camera and the camera is set to Remote Mode "WL" (wireless). Setting the remote channel To ensure that several remote systems used in the same room do not interfere with one another, four independent remote channels (CHANNEL 1, 2, 3 or 4) are available. Press the "Para" key repeatedly in activated Remote Mode until only "CHANNEL" (= Remote channel) and the Remote channel appear on the display.

Tilt the main reflector downwards or turn the wide-angle diffuser in front of the reflector. In close-up shots, overexposure (shots that are too bright) may result if the shutter speed is faster than the flash sync speed. The minimum distance from the subject should be at least 10% of the maximum flash range indicated on the display. [. . . ]
