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.
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.
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" on 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.
330°
●
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.
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 Manual Zoom mode, press the
<ZOOM> button.
●
●
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.
-7-120°
Turn the Select Dial to change
the flash coverage.
If <
> is displayed, the flash
coverage will be set
automatically.
