Wireless high-speed sync photography cannot be used.
Setting Up The Controller
(The following applies when the 5600HS (D) is used as the con-
troller.)

Taking Photos
1. Set up a camera with a controller, and off-camera flash
unit.
See page 43 for details.
When using the 5600HS (D) as the controller and a flash other than
the D flash (see page 6) as the off-camera flash, ensure that the
shutter speed does not exceed the flash sync speed for the camera.
The off-camera flash will not operate if the shutter speed is greater
than the sync speed.
2. Check that both flash units are fully charged.
The AF illuminator on the front blinks, and on the rear is lit, when
the 5600HS (D) is fully charged.
3. Use test flash to check the off-camera flash.
The method used for test flash differs with the camera used (eg.
press the AE lock button, or spot AE lock button). See the camera
manual for details.
If the test flash doesn’t fire, change the position of the camera, flash,
and subject, or point the wireless/remote control-signal receiver
towards the camera.
4. Check again that both flash units are fully charged, and
press the shutter-release button to take the photo.
