The flash compensation value selected with the 

M (Y) and E (N) 

buttons and command dial is added to the flash compensation values 
selected for the master flash, group A, and group B in the Commander 
mode menu. A 

Y icon is displayed in the viewfinder when a flash 

compensation value other than ±0 is selected for the master or remote 
flash units in TTL or AA mode. The 

Y icon flashes when the master 

flash is in mode M.

Position the sensor windows on the remote flash units to pick up the 
light from the master flash (particular care is required if the camera is 
not mounted on a tripod). The remote flash units should normally be 
placed closer to the subject than to the camera. Be sure that direct 
light or strong reflections from the remote flash units do not enter the 
camera lens (in TTL mode) or the photocells on the remote flash units 
(AA mode), as this may interfere with exposure. To prevent timing 
flashes emitted by the master flash from appearing in photographs 
taken at short range, choose low ISO sensitivities or small apertures 
(high f-numbers) or rotate the flash head on the master flash to point 
upwards. After positioning the remote flash units, take a test shot and 
view the results in the camera monitor.

Although there is no limit on the number of remote flash units that 
may be used, the practical maximum is three. With more than this 
number, the light emitted by the remote flash units will interfere with 
performance.
