Universal Slave Function

MG8000 has a universal wireless remote flash system as a slave unit.

You can enjoy creative flash photography with multiple lightings from the

various directions. 2 slave modes are provided in accordance with the flash

system of the master flash.

Slave Digital (SD) for digital pre-flash system and Slave Film (SF) for an

analogue flash system are available.

SD: In this mode MG8000 synchronizes to pre-flash system. The master flash

is to be set at i-TTL mode.

SF: In this mode MG8000 synchronizes to the traditional single flash system.

The master flash is to be set at manual mode. Studio strobe lighting system

synchronizes to this mode. This mode also responds to open flash and to

traditional type flash units in the market.

How to find SD or SF?

Select SD on your slave flash and release your camera’s shutter to flash your

master flash. The slave flash flashes if the Master flash is SD, and does not

flash if the Master flash is SF. If your slave flash is set at SF, it flashes against

both of SF and SD flash system.

To set MG8000 to the slave function mode, move cursor

to Slave line at Advanced function page and continuously

select SD or SF in accordance with the system of the

master flash you set.
