button to strobe the pop-up flash, or any attached/
controlled external Speedlight unit, in a series of rapid
pulses. These pulses are continuous and simulate the
lighting that the primary flash burst will give your
subject. The Modeling flash can only be used for a few
seconds at a time to keep from overheating the flash unit,
so look quickly.
▪ Off – This means that no Modeling flash will fire when
you press the Depth-of-field preview button.
My Recommendation: I often forget that I have this turned
on and want to check my actual depth of field on a product
shot. When I press the Depth-of-field preview button, I get
the modeling light instead of depth of field. I don’t find this
feature to be particularly useful, and it often startles me. One
of these days, I’ll get around to turning it off. You might like
it if you do a lot of studio-style flash photography. Give it a
try, but be prepared—the pulsing of the flash sounds like an
angry group of hornets about to attack your face.
