Multiple wireless flash photography with flash power ratio control
You can perform wireless flash photography while controlling the flash power ratio among a maximum of 3 wireless groups (A, B, and C) of flash units including the commander unit. Before you perform multiple wireless flash photography, be sure to configure each of the flash units as the commander unit or the receiver unit.
-
Commander unit: this flash unit (HVL-F28RM) or a radio wireless commander
-
Receiver unit (off-camera flash unit): this flash unit (HVL-F28RM) or a radio wireless receiver
: Commander unit
: Radio wireless receiver
: Receiver unit
- Work with the menu of the camera attached with the commander unit to select the wireless group, and then change the flash power ratio.
For details on the external flash settings of the camera, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your camera.
When the flash power ratio among the wireless groups A, B, and C is displayed as “4:2:1” on the connected camera, for example, the flash unit in each group fires flashes with a fraction of the total flash power: 4/7, 2/7, and 1/7, respectively.
Hint
-
The commander unit fires flashes as a member of the wireless group A. When you do not want the commander unit to fire flashes, select [External Flash Set.] - [Ext. Flash Firing Set.] - [CMD Flash Firing] from the menu of the camera attached with the commander unit, and then specify [Off].
