Using the Flash

Power Management
Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the flash unit on or off. Turn off if it will not be used for an extended period of time. This flash unit has Sleep Function and will enter into sleep status when there is no operation for a long time. For Sleep Function setting, see the following instruction.

Flash Output

• Flash output can be varied from 11128th power to 1/1 full power in 1/3 stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.
• Adjust the power output by rotating Select Dial . The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms off/ stop when you increase or decrease the flash output:

Figures displayed when reducing flash output level

Figures displayed when increasing flash output level

• When “OF” is shown on the LCD display, it means no flash output and flash firing is turned off.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage
The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from 24 mm to 200 mm. Press< > button and rotate Select Dial < > to change the flash coverage. When setting the flash coverage, make sure it covers the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.

M Mode: Manual Mod
Press MODE Selection Button < > to enter M mode. In this mode, you can set the flash unit onto your camera hot shoe or your trigger hot shoe for firing. Before shooting, adjust the flash power output. When the camera’s shutter is pressed, the flash will fire synchronously. Slave triggering mode is not available in M mode.

Multi Mode: Stroboscopic Flash
Press Mode Selection Button < > to enter Multi mode (Stroboscopic flash). With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture 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. For setting procedures, see the following:

1. Press the Mode Selection Button < > so that “Multi” is displayed.
2. Press Set Button < >to select the item to be set. The item blinks. 
3. Rotate Select Dial < > to set a desired number.

Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the provided formula to calculate the shutter speed required to capture the full sequence of flashes:

Number of flashes/ Firing frequency = Shutter speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 sec.

Note:

• Stroboscopic flash Is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.
• Using a tripod and a remote switch Is recommended.
• A flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.
• Stroboscopic flash can be used with “bulb”.

Advanced Application

Bounce Flas
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a satisfying angle.

• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure.
• The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may appear in the picture.

Creating a Catchligh
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject’ eyes to add life to the facial expression.

1. Point the flash head upward by 90°.
2. Pull out the wide panel. The catchlight panel will come out at the same time.
3. Push the wide panel back in.
   • Push in only the wide panel.
   • Follow the same procedures as for bounce flash.

Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by 90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash head left or right.  For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the subject.

Using the Wide Panel
Pull out the built-in wide panel to enlarge the flash lighting range, so as to get more softened and natural lighting effect.

Pull out the wide panel and place it over the flash head as shown. The flash coverage will then be extended to 14 mm.

• The catchlight panel will come out at the same time. Push the catchlight panel back in.
