Wireless remote control ash photography
External ash units that offer a remote control mode and are designated for use

# Cautions
We recommend using a single group of up to three remote ash units.
Remote ash units can not be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
If the subject is too close to the camera, the control ashes emitted by the supplied ash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the supplied
ash by, for example, using a diffuser).
