A: For remote firing, press the left of the two middle buttons under the LCD screen until you see S1 or S2 appear. Now, when any other flash fires in the area, this flash will also fire. S1 is for if the triggering flash is in a manual mode and will flash only once. S2 is if the triggering flash uses a TTL mode or other pre-flash, so the Sunpak will ignite the pre-flash and fire when your shutter is opened.

Great value, but heavy in weight
It's HEAVY. I definitely do bit suggest you carry around at all times. It's great flash for the price, has amazing features on it. It's heavy, so I suggest only bring it if you intend to shoot at night. It eats through AA batteries. I believe I used it once for a shoot and the battery light came on

Reliable Flash That Delivers Professional Results
I’ve been using this flash with my Canon Rebel T5 and Sigma 18-250 mm lens, and the results have been amazing. The lighting is clean, consistent, and makes my photos look like they were taken in a studio—even when I’m shooting on location. I recently used it for some portrait and product shots (uploaded a few here), and it handled both perfectly. The swivel head makes it easy to bounce light for a softer look, and the recycle time keeps up during fast-paced shoots. For the price, this speedlight delivers professional-level performance. It’s definitely become an essential part of my RSmith Media gear bag.
