Notes
 The slave flash mode cannot be used with cameras that perform a pre-
flash because the electronic flash will be emitted simultaneously with the
pre-flash.
 If other photographers are shooting using flash, the electronic flash may
react to those lights and be emitted.
 The firing angle of the flash cannot be controlled automatically so be sure
to check it beforehand. Pressing the ZOOM button on the electronic flash
once will display the firing angle for about 2 seconds. You can change
the firing angle by pressing ZOOM again while the current firing angle is
displayed. Verify whether the firing angle setting is appropriate or not by
performing a test shot.
