Over and under exposure amount is user adjustable. This function helps get correct exposure especially in shooting moving objects or when environmental lights are complex. Press function button 3 < FEB >. The icon < and the exposure bracketing amount will be highlighted on the LCD panel. ● If the subject is too far away and underexposure, the < icon will blink in the viewfinder. Move closer to the subject and try the FE lock again. ● If is not displayed on the LCD panel, FE lock cannot be set. ● If the subject is too small, FE lock might not be very effective. High-Speed Sync High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash portraits. Set the flash exposure compensation amount. Press Function Button 2 < SYNC > so that < > is displayed. Check that < > is displayed in the viewfinder. ● Turn the Select Dial to set the amount. ● “0.3”means 1/3 step, “0.7”means 2/3 step. Press < SET > button again to confirm the setting. Then your FEC and FEB settings are displayed on the LCD panel. ● FEB will be cancelled after three photos are taken. ● For best results, set the camera drive mode to “single” and ensure the flash is ready before shooting. ● FEB can be used with FEC and FEL. C.Fn You can prevent the FEB from being cancelled automatically after three photos are taken. (C.FnFEB ACL , Page 57) C.Fn The FEB shooting sequence can be changed. (C.FnFEB, Page 57) ● If you set a shutter speed that is the same as or slower than the camera’s maximum flash sync speed, < displayed in the viewfinder. > will not be ● With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective flash range. ● To return to normal flash, press < SYNC > button again. Then > will disappear. ● Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode. ● Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15 consecutive high-speed sync flashes. FEL: Flash Exposure Lock FEL can lock the correct flash exposure setting for any part of the scene. With displayed on the LCD panel, press the camera’s button. If the camera does not have the button, press the < * > button. Focus the subject. Second-Curtain Sync With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes. Press function button 4 < SYNC > button so that < > is displayed on the LCD panel. Press the button. ● Aim the subject at the center of the viewfinder and press button. ● The camera flash will fire a preflash and the required flash output for the subject is retained in memory. ● Each time the button is pressed, a preflash will be fired and a new flash exposure setting will be locked. - 41 - - 42 - M: Manual Flash Multi: Stroboscopic Flash The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/128th power in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output. Press < MODE > button so that < M > is displayed. With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output. Press button so that < MULTI > is displayed. Set the flash frequency and flash times. Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash output. ● Press < MULTI > button to select the item (blinks). ● Turn the Select Dial to set Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash output amount. the number and press < Hz > button again to confirm. The next item to be set will blink. Press < SET > button again to confirm the setting. ● After you finish the setting, Flash Output Range The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/20.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed. 1/1-0.7 1/2+0.7 1/2+0.3 1/1 1/2-0.3 1/2-0.7 1/4+0.7 1/4+0.3 1/2 ······ 1/4 ······ ←Figures displayed when increasing flash output level Optic S1 Secondary Unit Setting In M manual flash mode, press button so that this flash can function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting effects. Optic S2 Secondary Unit Setting Press button so that this flash can also function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this function, the flash will ignore a single “preflash” from the main flash and will only fire in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit. ● - 43 - Calculating the Shutter Speed During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera. Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed Figures displayed when reducing flash output level→ 1/1-0.3 press button and all the settings will be displayed. For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds. To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes’ rest for the camera flash. Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background. ● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended. ● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash. ● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“buLb”. ● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table. ● S1 and S2 optic triggering is only available in M manual flash mode. - 44 - Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes: Flash output 15m(49.2ft) Indoors Hz 6-7 8-9 1/4 1/8 14 14 12 10 1/16 30 30 30 20 20 20 10 1/32 60 60 60 50 50 40 30 1/64 90 90 90 80 80 70 60 100 1/128 Flash output Hz 100 100 100 90 100 80 Outdoors 10m(32.8ft) 80° 8m(26.2ft) 12m(39.4ft) Even with multiple slave units, the master unit can control all of them via wireless. ● In this user manual, “master unit” refers to the camera flash on a camera and “slave unit” will be controlled by the master unit. ● 10 11 12-14 15-19 20-50 60-199 1/4 1/8 1/16 1.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Optic Transmission This product supports wireless flash application and functions as either a master or a slave unit. As a master unit, it can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. As a slave unit, it can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D. You can set up two to three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects. ● Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on the master unit will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit to ETTL mode without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting. ● This flash can work in ETTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master unit.
