You can then press the function button ( ) immediately below the item to highlight it, rotate the command dial ( ) to display the desired option, and press OK (...
Page 18 Flash photography consequently requires slower shutter speeds, severely limiting the range of speeds available. The EF-X500 supports FP (high-speed sync), in which the fl ash fi res continuously while the fi rst and second curtains travel across the sensor, allowing the fl ash to be used at any shutter speed.
Page 19: Getting Started
Getting Started This chapter describes how to ready the fl ash for shooting and the basic procedure for taking pictures using the fl ash.
Page 20: Inserting Batteries
Inserting Batteries The fl ash takes four AA alkaline or nickel-metal hy- dride (NiMH) batteries (Ni-MH batteries are rec- ommended for increased endurance and shorter charging times). Replace all four batteries at the same time, using fresh or ful- ly-charged batteries of the same brand and type. The rubber gasket inside the cover prevents water entry;...
Page 21: Battery Life And Recycling Time
Inserting Batteries Remove the batteries if the product will not be used for an ex- tended period. The batteries may be hot immediately after the fl ash has fi red a number of times in succession; observe cau- tion when removing the batteries. Battery Life and Recycling Time Battery life and recycling time vary with battery type, as is shown in the table below (in-house measurements).
Page 22: Attachment And Removal
Attachment and Removal Turn the fl ash off before mounting it on or removing it from the hot shoe. If the fl ash is on, it may short the hot shoe contacts, causing the fl ash to fi re unexpect- edly or other product malfunction.
Page 23: Detaching The Flash
Attachment and Removal Detaching the Flash Unlatch and detach the unit as shown. Do not attempt to remove the unit without fi rst unlatching it, as this could damage the hot shoe.
Page 24: Turning The Flash On And Off
• Choose MASTER if the unit will be mounted on the camera hot shoe for use as a master fl ash controlling remote fl ash units via FUJIFILM opti- cal remote fl ash control.
Page 25: Charging
Turning the Flash On and Off Charging The ready lamp blinks while the fl ash charges. The lamp stops blinking when the fl ash is ready to fi re at full power; if the fl ash is fi red before the lamp stops blinking, fl ash output will be less than the val- ue indicated by the guide number (if desired, the fl ash can be confi gured not to beep when charging is complete;...
Page 26: The Lcd Backlight
Turning the Flash On and Off The LCD Backlight The LCD display backlight turns on when controls are used, and remains on for about 15 seconds. The backlight lights green in single fl ash and master modes, amber in remote mode, and red when a temperature warning ( 95) is displayed.
Page 27: Taking Photographs
Taking Photographs For automatic through-the-lens (TTL) fl ash control, use the camera in mode P (program AE). Rotate the power switch to ON. Press the page button until the page is displayed. Press the l function but- ton to highlight fl ash control mode.
Page 28 Taking Photographs After confi rming that the ready lamp is lit, take pictures using the camera shutter button.

Page 29: Flash Controls
Flash Controls Read this chapter for information on bounce lighting, the wide and catchlight panels, and the diff user.
Page 30: Bounce Lighting
Bounce Lighting The fl ash head can be tilted so that the light from the fl ash is refl ected from a ceiling or wall for softer, more natural lighting or to illuminate the area behind your subject. 90° The fl ash head can be tilted by as much as 90°...
Page 31: Using The Wide Panel
Using the Wide Panel The wide panel off ers coverage for focal lengths as short as about 20 mm (35 mm format equivalent). Slide the wide panel out and down to cover the fresnel lens. Do not use force. The panel could pull free of the fl ash head.
Page 32: Catchlight Photography
Catchlight Photography The catchlight panel can be used in combination with bounce lighting to add catchlights to your sub- jects’ eyes. Raise the catchlight panel as shown. Catchlight panel Wide panel Return the wide panel to its hous- ing. For best results, stay close to your subject and rotate the fl ash head up 90°...
Page 33: The Diff User
The Diff user The diff user diff uses and softens the light from the fl ash. Remove the accessory mount cover. When attaching or remov- ing the cover, cup your hand around it as shown. Do not use force. Attach the diff user as shown. When attaching or removing the diff user, observe caution to prevent injury due to your fi ngers getting caught between the diff user and the fl ash unit.
