Quickstart guide
At its most basic, an audio slide show is a series of images timed against an audio track. To create a Soundslides project, you'll need both media types ready.

Your images should be located together, in a folder.

Quickstart
Click the NEW button, and save the project to your computer.
Click the JPG button, and select a folder of .jpg files to import
from your hard drive.
Click the SND button, and select an .mp3 file from your hard drive. Aiff/WAV files can be used if LAME is installed.
The main editing interface should open after the audio and images are imported.
Both the audio and the images have to be imported before the editing window will appear.

Press SAVE to save the project.

Press TEST to launch the working edit into a web browser for preview.

Press EXPORT to write your final files. A directory will open containing all of your slide show's published files.

Shelter Area [
A paved pathway connects the accessible shelter and a nearby shady picnic site to two handicap parking spaces. The pathway has a maximum slope of 5.8% for 20 feet just before reaching the shelter. The shelter accommodates 60 people and provides a group grill and extended-end tables. The individual picnic site has a pedestal grill and an extended-end table and is adjacent to the area's water fountain. A flush restroom is conveniently nearby for all users. Historic Area
Just up the slope from the shelter is the old Hickam Cabin, which is representative of the architecture in the late 1820s to early 1830s in this area. It sits on a grassy knoll and can best be reached from the office parking lot for visitors who may be restricted by slopes. Access is over natural turf.

the master unit. Set the wireless selector to .

2 Set the slave 580EX Speedlites as the slave unit. Set the wireless selector to .

If the master unit and slave unit(s) are set
to a different channel, set them all to the
same channel (p.37).

4 Position the camera and Speed l i t es
as desired.
Position the Speed lites within the range
shown on the next page.

5 Set the master unit's flash mode to
The slave unit(s) will also be automatically
set to .

6 Check that the flash is ready.
When the slave unit is ready to fire, the AF-
assist beam will blink once each second.

7 Check the flash operation.

How To Slave an SB-800
1. First, turn on your flash.
2. Now get into the submenu by pressing and holding the "sel" button for 2 seconds.
3. Arrow right (the "single tree" button) to get the upper right quadrant highlighted.
4. Push the select button again.
5. Scoll down ("-" button) until "SU-4" is highlighted.
6. Push "sel" again to select.
7. Push and hold "sel" for 2 seconds to get out of the submenu.
8. Your flash will now say "REMOTE."


You are now in SU-4 mode, a legacy, wireless, quasi-TTL mode for which the SB-800 is backward compatible. But you are not going to use it for TTL. By pressing the "mode" button you can toggle between automatic and manual. Choose manual.
By pressing the "+" or "-" buttons, you can change power in 1/3-stop increments all the way to 1/128 power.
You now have a flash that'll slave to any other flash. You want to use both in the manual mode, so they will not influence each other's output.
