9.2 Remote slave flash mode ( )
The flash unit supports Canon`s wireless E-TTL Remote System in slave flash mode.
At the same time, one or more slave flash units can be remotely controlled from one
master or controller flash unit on the camera (e.g. mecablitz 58 AF-1C digital).
A slave flash unit can be assigned to one of three possible slave groups (GROUP
A, B or C). The master or controller flash unit can control all of these slave
groups simultaneously and at the same time take the settings for each slave
group into account.

So that multiple remote systems in the same room do not interfere with one anot-
her, there are four independent remote channels available (CH 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Master, controller and slave flash units belonging to the same remote system must
be set to the same remote channel. The slave flash units must be able to receive
the light from the master or controller flash unit with the integrated sensors for
the remote mode .
Depending on the camera model, the camera’s internal flash unit can also
function as master or controller flash unit. Please consult the respective
camera operating instructions for further tips on setting the master or con-
troller flash unit.
