Calculating the Shutter Speed
During multi 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
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the flash frequency is 5Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.

To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use multi 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 multi 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.

1. Multi flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.
2. Using a tripod and TTL flash trigger XPROII is recommended.
3. A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for multi flash.
4. Multi flash can also be used with“buLb”mode.
5. Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
6. 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.

Other Applications

Sync Triggering
The sync cord jack is a Φ2.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.

Modeling Flash
If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire the flash continuously for 1 second. This is called modeling flash. It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the lighting balance. You can fire the modeling flash during wireless or normal flash shooting.

1. To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire the modeling flash for more than 10 consecutive times. If you fire the modeling flash 10 consecutive times, allow at least 10 minutes’ break for the camera flash.
2. The modeling flash cannot be fired with the EOS 300 and Type-B cameras.

Auto Focus Assist Beam

In poorly-lit or low-contrast shooting environments, the built-in auto focus assist beam will automatically light on to make it easier for autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is difficult and get out as soon as the autofocus becomes correct.
If you want to turn off the auto focus assist beam, set the “AF” to “OFF” in the C.Fn settings.

If you find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.

Bounce Flash
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.

1. If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure.
2. 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.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage

The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set to match the lens focal length from 28mm to 105mm. In auto zoom mode, the focal length changes in response to the camera’s zoom lens to provide optimal flash results.
In manual zoom mode, press the button.

Turn the select dial to change the flash coverage.
If A is displayed, the flash coverage will be set automatically.

Note

If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.

Low Battery Warning
If the battery power is low, will appear and blink on the LCD panel. Please replace the battery immediately.
