5. Turn the remote flash units on. They all either need to

be connected to an SU-4 or have a built-in SU-4 type

of wireless mode selected.

6. Take your picture. All the flashes should participate in

the exposure.

7. Since the remote flash units may be more powerful

than the internal flash, you may have to adjust the

position of the external flashes to be further from the

subject (or use their diffusion domes to limit their

power). When I'm feeling especially daring and

creative, I actually set my exposure in Step #4 to

underexposure and then try to get the remote

Speedlights to fire a little hotter than the internal flash,

but this is a big trial and error process you'll just have

to experiment with yourself.
