 Notes on canceling the master flash unit flash function
With optical control, when the master flash unit flash function is canceled 
and only the remote flash units fire, the master flash unit emits a number 
of weak light signals to trigger the remote flash units. This operation will 
normally not affect the correct exposure of the subject, although the 
exposure might be affected if the subject is close and a high ISO sensitivity 
has been set. To limit this effect, tilt the master flash unit’s flash head 
upward.
