Connecting the Camera e.g. with Sync Cord
Connect your camera, sync cord and flash head as described above. The second flash head is usually triggered by the
first flash head using the photo sensor.
• Set your camera's program mode to "M" (digital or analogue SLR camera). For details read the camera's manual.
• Set the correct flash synchronization according to your camera's manual. For cameras with an extremely short synchronization time
we suggest to set the camera to an exposure of 1/125s or 1/60s.
• For an optimum exposure, we recommend to try out various aperture settings (for details see camera manual). Also you can vary the power control of the
flash heads (see specifications). We recommend to start with a medium aperture (e.g. F8) and a low flash power.
• We recommend to use a handheld exposure meter e.g. from Polaris or Gossen. They offer a multitude of or direct and incident light metering modes.
• The modelling light assists you in finding out the correct illumination. It does not influence the final result. If you wish to save energy of
if you don't like that it heats up, you can switch it off. Please also switch the flash heads off after use.
• The first flash head can be released via sync cord, wireless remote release (optional) or via infrared flash (optional) or by the camera's
incorporated flash.
