10 Cordless flash mode
The flash unit supports the wireless Nikon remote
system in slave flash mode and is compatible with
the Nikon system „Advanced Wireless Lighting“.
The remote system consists of a master flash unit
on the camera and one or more slave flash units.
The slave flash unit(s) are controlled via wireless
technology by the reflector of the master flash unit.
The slave flash unit is assigned to one of three pos-
sible groups (A, B or C). Each group can in turn con-
sists of one or more slave flash units.
The master flash unit can control all of these slave
groups simultaneously and at the same time take
the settings for each slave group into account.
The entire remote system can be operated either
with or mode.
A change to the type of flash mode must be made
on the master.
There are four independent remote channels to use
so that multiple remote systems in the same room
do not interfere with one another. Master and Slave
flash units belonging to the same remote system
must be set to the same remote channel.
