In the FLASH menu, what is the purpose of the SLAVE function?
Even though the SP-570UZ doesnt have a PC sync cord connector, it can be used with studio strobes and off-camera flashes equipped with slave triggers. A slave trigger will fire a flash unit when it detects another flash firing. When the SP-570UZ Flash Mode is set to SLAVE, the camera’s built-in flash will fire in sync with slaved flash units. The SLAVE function has 10 power settings so that the cameras built-in flash can be set from a minimum flash output (1) to full-power output (10). This gives the photographer the option of using the camera flash only as a trigger for the slaved flashes or as the main light, using the slaved flashes for fill light.
