The slave sensor, is switched on or off from the rear
control panel. It responds to another flash and so
allows any non-synchronised flash heads to operate
as a slave when switched on. There is a choice of S1
and S2 slave modes. S1 causes the SuperFast to
fire in response to another flash, whereas S2 ignores
the first flash, and responds to the second flash.
S2 mode is ideal when needing to respond to an
iTTL or eTTL speedlight being used as a trigger.
To change from S1 mode to S2 mode, or vice versa,
simply press the slave button until it displays the
required mode. A blue indicator light above the
slave button shows that it is in S2 mode, a red light
above the slave button shows that it is in S1 mode.
If the light is not showing at all, slave mode is disabled.

The SuperFast flash heads accept
the full range of Lencarta/Bowens
S-fit accessories and light shapers.
Simply press and hold the orange
catch whilst removing the accessory.
SuperFast flash heads are fitted with a 150watt
modelling lamp. The safety cover, shown on the left,
provides additional protection in the unlikely event
of bulb breakage, and must always be used.
To adjust the tilt, simply loosen the tilt
handle and tighten it again to lock the
position. Pull out and twist the handle
to adjust its position.
When used at high power settings, the SuperFast behaves in the same way as other
high-specification flash heads, except that the flash duration is shorter than most, allowing
even fairly fast action to be frozen by the flash.
Their main advantage however, is that when the power is turned down, the flash duration and
the recycling time become progressively shorter. Both the flash duration and the recycling
time halve each time the power setting is reduced by one stop. So, to get the fastest flash
and the fastest recycling time, reduce the power as much as possible.
