Overview of multiple flash operation
Multiple flash photography allows you to create more natural-looking pictures by
using several flash units to emphasize the subject’s shape or eliminate shadows.
The following wireless multiple flash operations are available:
• It’s not possible to use different types of multiple flash operations together.
•Wireless multiple flash operation using Speedlights featuring CLS is called “Advanced
Wireless Lighting”.
• It is only possible to conduct multiple flash shooting in M (manual) mode using cords
when using cameras compatible with CLS and digital SLRs not compatible with CLS.

Master flash unit and remote flash unit(s)
In this instruction manual, the flash unit mounted on the camera or the one
directly connected to the camera via a remote cord, such as the SC-17, SC-28
or SC-29, is called the master flash unit. All other flash units are called the
remote flash units.
