< > button again to confirm. The next item to be set will blink. Hz After you finish the setting, press <SET> button and all the settings will be displayed. Calculating the Shutter Speed 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 / 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 camera flash. Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background. Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended. A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash. Stroboscopic flash can be used withbuLb. If the number of flashes is displayed as --, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

As a master unit, it can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. As a slave unit, it can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D. You can set up two to three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects. Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on the master unit will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit to ETTL mode without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting. This flash can work in ETTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master unit.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission Using a flash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced wireless multiple flash lighting, in the same way as E-TTL II autoflash shooting. The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the picture. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II /ETTL autoflash shooting just by setting the master unit to <ETTL>. Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting) Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit Transmission distance is about 100m. Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit. Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting. The transmission distance might be shorter depending on the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the surrounding environment and whether conditions. Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups. Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups output. (Page 43)

Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups Other Applications A B Auto Shooting with Three Slave Groups C A B Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless shooting using optic transmission, such as being less affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave units wireless sensor toward the master unit. The main functional differences are as follows:

Function Distance Channel Radio Transmission 100m Optic Transmission 15m 1~32 1~4 A/B/C Power OFF1/128~1/1 1/128~1/1 Wireless Control Function 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-16S 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. For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user manual. Sync Triggering The Sync Cord Jack is a 2.5mm 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.

-7-90 ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set to match the lens focal length from 20 mm to 200mm. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses. In Manual Zoom mode, press the

coverage will be set automatically. 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. Using the Wide Panel Pull out the wide panel and place it over the flash head as shown. The flash coverage will then be extended to 14 mm. The catchlight panel will come out at the same time. Push the catchlight panel back in. The <ZOOM/C.FN> button will not work. Low Battery Warning If the battery power is low, < >

will appear and blink on the LCD panel. Please replace the battery immediately. 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. Creating a Catchlight With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subjects eyes to add life to the facial expression. Point the flash head upward 1 by 90. 2 catchlight panel will come out Pull out the wide panel. The at the same time. 3 Push the wide panel back in. Push in only the wide panel. Follow the same procedures as for bounce flash. Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by 90. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash head left or right. For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the subject.
