Figure 12-9. J. Ramón Palacios used a Commander device
and two SB-800 Speedlights to take this CLS photo.
Isn’t it more fun to simply enter some initial settings into your
Commander mode screen and then take a test shot? If it
doesn’t look right, change the settings and do it again. Within
two or three tries you’ll probably get it right, and you will
have learned something about the performance of your
Creative Lighting System. In a short time you’ll have a feel
for how to set the camera and flash units and will use your
flash/ camera combo with authority.
Using Commander Mode
Let’s start by putting your camera into Commander mode.
We’ll do that by changing Custom setting e3 to Commander
mode. Look at Figure 12-10 for the screen series to set this
option.
Since this section is about controlling multiple flash units,
we’ll have to change that setting in Commander mode, as
shown in Figure 12-10, image 4.
