Press < MENU > button to enter C.FN-SLAVE to choose S2 function, so that this flash can also function as an 
optical S2 secondary flash with optical sensor in M manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash 
function. With this function, the flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the main flash and will only fire in response 
to the second, actual flash from the main unit.

Optical S1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual flash mode, press <MENU> button to enter C.FN-SLAVE to choose S1 function, so that this flash can 
function as an optical S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when 
the main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting effects.

● 

S1 and S2 optical triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.

Flash Output Range

The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease 
the flash output. For example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and then increase the 
flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.
