Effective Speedlight Placement

• Illuminating a distant subject

When light from the master flash unit is not strong enough to illuminate a

subject at a distance with a single flash unit (or the camera's built-in

Speedlight), you can use several Speedlights in combination to produce

pictures with a properly illuminated subject.

• Position the slave flash unit at the side of the

camera and master flash unit (as illustrated). The

Subject

optional SK-7 bracket (p. 56) enables you to easily

set the slave flash unit to the side of the camera

and master flash unit.

• For calculating the compound guide number, see

"Guide number" on p. 33.
