With FEC function, the eVOLV200 can adjust
the auto exposure bias 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.
Press <MODE > Selection Button to enter Manual
mode. The LCD panel will display “M”. The ash
output is adjustable from 1/1 (full power) to
1/128th power in 1/3rd stop increments. To obtain
a correct ash exposure, use a hand-held ash
meter to determine the required ash output.
The following table makes it easier to see how the
stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase
or decrease the ash output. For example, when
you decrease the ash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-
0.7, and then increase the ash output to more than
1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.

1. Press the <SET> Function Button and ash
exposure compensation amount will be high-
lighted on the LCD panel.
2. Set the ash exposure compensation amount.
• Turn the Select Dial to set the amount.
• “0.3”means 1/3 stop, “0.7”means 2/3 stop.
• To cancel the ash exposure compensation, set
the amount to “+0”.
3. Press < SET > button again to conrm the
setting.
In M manual ash mode, press the < C.Fn >
button for 2 seconds to enter the menu. Select the
C.FN-F2 and choose the S1 function, so that this
ash can function as an optically triggered S1
secondary slave ash with the built-in optic
sensor. With this function, the ash will re
in synch when the main ash res, the same
‘real-time’ response that is realized by R2 radio
triggers. This creates multiple lighting eects
without the use of radio systems.
Long press on the <C.Fn> button for 2 seconds to
enter the menu. C.FN-F2 to choose S2 function,
so that this ash can also function as an optically
triggered S2 secondary slave ash with the built-in
optic sensor while in M manual ash mode. This is
useful when strobes have pre-ash function. With
this function, the optical sensor on the eVOLV200
will ignore a single “preash” from the main
(master) ash and will only re in response to the
second, actual ash from the main unit.
Flash duration refers to the length of time that
from ash’s ring 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 dierence between
t=0.5 and t=0.1 is shown in the following picture.
1. Press <MODE > button so that < M > is displayed.
2. Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired ash
output amount.
