Using the Flash Value Lock (FVL)
The FV (flash value) lock locks the correct flash exposure setting into the
flash for any part of the scene you select.
1 Set the flash to i-TTL auto flash mode by pressing the MODE button
repeatedly until the "TTL" indicator lights on the back of the flash, then
focus on the subject.
2 Place the selected subject in the center of the viewfinder, then press
the FV button on the camera. The camera flash fires a preflash and the
required flash output for the subject is retained in memory.
Each time you press the FV button, a preflash is fired, a new flash
exposure setting is locked into memory. The FV lock icon
displayed in the viewfinder.
3 Exit FVL mode by pressing the MODE button on the flash until the FVL
indicator turns off.
Using manual flash (M)
The flash output is adjustable from full brightness to 1/64th brightness in
1/3rd step increments. Use a hand-held flash meter to determine the
required flash output to obtain a correct flash exposure when using
manual flash.
1 Press the MODE button repeatedly until the M indicator lights on the
back of the flash.
2 Press the + button to set the brightness. The levels are increased, in
order, from 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/1. Press the – button to
decrease the brightness. The –1 indicator on the back of the flash
corresponds to the 1/64 power and the +1 corresponds to the 1/1
power level.

Notes
• If the TTL mode is not selected, the FV lock cannot be set.
• If the subject is too small, the FV lock might not be very
effective.
• If the subject is too far away and underexposure is
possible, the
closer to the subject and try the FV lock again.
• The FV button is on the camera. The position of the
button may vary, based on the camera model you are
using. Refer to your camera instruction manual.
