And the flash will alarm for the 1 minute and auto power off in 3 minutes. Note: Please recharge the battery as soon as possible (within 10 days). Then, the battery can be used or be placed for long period. |
Note: The indications are almost the same except of grids shift.
Long press the <ON/OFF> Power Switch for 1 seconds to control the on/off of the flash unit. Turn off the power pack if the flash unit will not be used for an extended period. This product has auto power off function. The flash will auto power off in 30 to 120 min. which is set on C.Fn-STANDBY.
AD600Pro can only be set as slave unit (receiver end). Press Wireless Selection Button to switch the two wireless modes: built-in wireless transmission and external wireless transmission.
This flash has three flash modes: TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscopic). In TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background.
* Press <MODE> Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.
Press <MODE > Mode Selection Button to enter TTL mode. The LCD panel will display <TTL>.
With FEC function, this flash can adjust from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. It is useful in situations where minor adjusting of the TTL system is needed based on the environment.
Setting FEC:
Set the flash exposure compensation amount.
Turn the Select Dial to set the amount.
"0.3"means 1/3 step, "0.7"means 2/3 step.
To cancel the flash exposure compensation, set the amount to "+0".
Press < SET > button again to confirm the setting.
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.
Press High Speed Sync Button so that < > is displayed.
Please use XPro or X1 series transmitter.
NOTE:
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 11256th power in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to determine the required flash output.
The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.
Figures displayed when reducing flash output leve
1/1 | 1/1-0.3 | 1/1-0.7 | 1/2 | 1/2-0.3 | 1/2-0.7 | 1/4 | ... |
1/2+0.7 | 1/2+0.3 | 1/4+0.7 | 1/4+0.3 | ... |
Figures displayed when increasing flash output level
Note:
Sl and S2 optical triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.
Flash duration refers to the length of time that from flash's firing to reach the half peak at maximum. The half peak at maximum is usually expressed as t=0.5. In order to provide the photographer with more concrete data, this product adopts t=0.1. The difference between t=0.5 and t=0.1 is shown in the following picture.
Note:
The flash duration will only be displayed on the LCD panel in M mode.
When use this function, the color temperature changes within ±75K over the entire power range: enter MENU C.Fn-COLOR and set it as ON, which means the color temperature function is turned on. When adjusting the power output from high to low in M mode, Flash Ready Indicator will blink (the beeper will alarm for 1 minute). Now press the Test Button to discharge, and the flash can be used as normal.
Note:
This function can only be supported in M non-high-speed mode.
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
During stroboscopic 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 I Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic 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 stroboscopic 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 flash.
Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:
Flash Output/Hz | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6-7 | 8-9 | 10 | 11 | 12-14 | 15-19 | 20-50 | 60-100 |

AD600Pro is equipped with a 38W LED modeling lamp which has two continuous lighting modes.
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the flash triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16 remote control set (on camera and on-flash). Insert its receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe. Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted transmit and receive ends will be wirelessly communicated to the flash. Then you can press the camera shutter release button to trigger the flash. You can also hold the transmit end at hand to control your off-camera flash.
Note:
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user manual.
The Sync Cord Jack is a 03.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
