Using the Manual Flash Mode
You can also set the VS-560N's flash output level manually for greater creative control over your images.
Seven manual settings are available: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64. The 1/1 setting is the full-power
flash, and each successive setting halves the light output. To use the manual mode, turn the flash and camera
on and follow these steps:
1.
Press the Mode button repeatedly to cycle through the flash modes until "M" and the flash output level
indicator show on the LCD. Press the up or down buttons to set the desired flash output level. The output
level will cycle through in both directions.
2.
Set the exposure settings you want to use on your camera. The highest shutter speed available will be
your camera's flash sync speed. To use higher shutter speeds, switch to automatic TTL mode and activate
high-speed sync (see Using High-Speed Sync on page 19).
3.
Take a test shot, and check the exposure on your camera's LCD.
4.
Adjust your camera's exposure settings and the light output level of the flash as needed.
5.
Press your camera's shutter-release button to take the picture.
