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.
1. Press function button 2
2. Turn the select dial to set the amount. “0.3”means 1/3 step,”0.7″means 2/3
step.
3. Press set button again to confirm the setting, then the FEC and FEB
settings are displayed on the LCD panel at the same time.
Note1. FEB will be cancelled after three photos are taken. 2. For best results
of FEB function, set the camera drive mode to “single” and ensure the flash is
ready before shooting. 3. FEB can be used with FEC and FEL. 4. You can prevent
the FEB from being cancelled automatically after three photos are taken in
MENU-FEB ACL.
FEL (Flash Exposure Lock)
FEL can lock the correct flash exposure setting for any part of the scene.

2. Check whether the < > icon is displayed in the viewfinder.
Note: 1. If you set a shutter speed that is the same as or slower than the
camera’s maximum flash sync speed, < > will not be displayed in the
viewfinder. 2. With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter
the effective flash range. 3. To return to normal flash, press
Second-Curtain Sync
With a slow shutter speed and second-curtain sync, you can create a light
train following the subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.
Press function button 2
Note1.The second-curtain sync will have better effect in BuLb shooting. 2. The
camera flash will fire twice in
Flash Mode — M: Manual Flash
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/256 power with 1/10
increment each step. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash
meter to determine the required flash output.

dial to adjust it. Press the set button again to confirm the setting.
S1 Optic Control Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press <S1/S2> 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 wireless triggers. This helps create multiple lighting
effects.
S2 Optic Control Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press <S1/S2> button so that this flash can also
function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic sensor. This is useful when
cameras have pre-flash function. With this function, the flash will ignore a
single “pre-flash” from the main flash and will only fire in response to the
second, actual flash from the main flash.
Note1. S1 and S2 optic control triggering is only available in M manual flash
mode. 2. Press function 3 button <S1/S2> to switch between S1/S2 optic control
or turn off this function.
Flash Mode — Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
With slow shutter speed in multi flash mode, 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 flash frequency (number of flashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.

3. Press <+/-> button to select flash output amount. Turn the select dial to set the amount, then press it to confirm the settings. Flash output range: 1/256-1/4.
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.
Note: 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.
Wireless Flash Shooting: 2.4G Wireless Transmission
This section explains wireless transmitting/receiving flash shooting. The
V1Pro C attached to the camera is referred as the transmitter unit, while a
V1Pro C that is wirelessly controlled is referred as the receiver unit. You
can also wirelessly control the V1Pro C set as the receiver unit with the TTL
flash trigger XPROII (sold separately). For details on setting the flash
trigger functions, see the its instruction manual.
NoteWhen the camera’s shooting mode is set to a fully automatic mode or an
image zone mode, the operations in this section are not available. Please set
the camera’s shooting mode to Fv/P/Tv/Av/M/B.
Using a flash with a radio transmission wireless shooting function make it
easy to shoot with advanced wireless multiple flash shooting, in the same way
as E-TTL II auto flash shooting. As long as the channel, group, ID, and other
relevant wireless settings of the transmitter and receiver units are set to
the same, the settings on the V1Pro C (transmitter unit) will be automatically
applied to the wirelessly controlled V1Pro C (receiver unit). Therefore, there
is no need to operate the receiver unit during shooting.
Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting)
Auto Flash Shooting with One Receiver Unit
Transmission distance is about 100m
Note1. Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting. 2. The
transmission distance might be shorter depending on the conditions such as
positioning of receiver units, the surrounding environment and whether
conditions.
Auto Flash Shooting with Multiple Receiver Groups You can divide the receiver
units into two or three groups and perform E-TTL II auto flash while changing
the flash ratio (flash output ratio). In addition, you can set and shoot with
a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 4 groups.
