When the EF-530 DG SUPER NA-iTTL is fully charged, the AF Auxiliary Light will blink.
The flash will not fire if the EF-530 DG SUPER is attached to the camera body whilst in Slave Mode setting.
If you are using a Nikon brand flash unit with (3-D) Multi-Sensor BL function on your camera, and the EF-530
DG SUPER NA-iTTL flash unit as a slave unit, please do not use (3-D) Multi-Sensor BL function, as the
monitor pre-flash may cause the slave to fire prematurely.
Designated Slave Flash
If using two or more EF-530 DG Super flash units, you can designate which flash will fire together by using the
channel settings. In this mode, one flash unit will be used as the Slave Controller and the others for firing as Slaves.
Setting the Slave Flash unit(s) for firing
1. Attach the slave unit to the camera body.
2. Set the camera’s exposure mode to S or M.
3. Set the shutter speed to 1/30 or slower. (The slave controller unit
(Master Flash) will transmit the designated signal before the others
fire. Thus if you use a shutter speed faster than 1/30, the firing flash
units will not be synchronized.)
4. Switch “ON” the flash unit and press the camera’s shutter button halfway. (The aperture value and film
speed are now automatically transmitted to the slave flash unit.)

need to change the aperture value.
11. Press the SEL button several times to make the display stop blinking.
12. Place the slave unit in the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
