Olympus E-3 User Guide

POWER USER TIP: If you really need to cover as many lighting set
ups as possible, and there are no other E-3 camera users in the area
using remote flash operation, you can set up four different groups of
remote flash units and allocate each one of these a control channel in
the sequence 1, 2, 3 or 4. You can then set the lighting parameters for
each group on the super control panel and switch between them by
changing the command channel on the camera. You will not, however,
be able to control all four groups at once but you can switch between
the groups as needed. This will permit you, for example, to set up four
different “sets” at a music concert or on a theatrical stage and use each
group for the appropriate section of the performance without having to
run around and change setups between scenes.
