Modelling Flash
If the camera has a depth-of-eld preview button, pressing it will
re the ash continuously for 1 second. This is called modeling
ash.
It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the
lighting balance. You can re the modeling ash during wireless
or normal ash shooting.
• To avoid overheating and deteriorating the ash head, do
not re the modeling ash for more than 10 consecutive
times. If you re the modeling ash 10 consecutive
times, allow at least 10 minutes’ break for the camera
ash.
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 eas-
ier for autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is
difcult 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 nd the auto focus assist beam does not light up,
this is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.
Positon Effective Range
Center 0.6~10m / 2.0~32.8 feet
Periphery 0.6~5m / 2.0~16.4 feet
Bounce Flash
By pointing the ash head toward a wall or ceiling, the ash 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 ash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the ash head and turn it to a
satisfying angle.
• If the wall or ceiling is too
far away, the bounced ash
might be too weak and result
in underexposure.
• The wall or ceiling should be
a plain, white color for high
reectance. If the bounce
surface is not white, a color
cast may appear in the
picture.
