1. To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not re 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.
2. The modeling flash cannot be red with the EOS 300 and Type-B cameras.
Note
:
If you nd the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this is because the camera
has got a correct autofocus.
Note:
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 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” in
the C.Fn settings.

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.
Bounce Flash
1. If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and
result in underexposure.
2. 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.

Low Battery Warning
If the battery power is low, < > will
appear and blink on the LCD panel.
Please replace the battery immediately.
ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage
The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set to
match the lens focal length from 28mm to 105mm. In auto zoom mode,
the focal length changes in response to the camera's zoom lens to provide
optimal flash results.
In manual zoom mode, press the
<ZOOM> button.
Turn the select dial to change the
ash coverage.
If <
> is displayed, the ash
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.
