Quick Flash Function
The Quick Flash function allows the ash to re at 1/6 to 1/2 of the full output.
Quick Flash recycle times are faster. It helps for snap photography for near sub-
jects.
Quick ash can be used for continuous drive modes, quick ash for continuous
shot function can be enabled or disabled (see C.Fn-06 above).
Please note:
The Quick Flash Function makes ash ring a priority. Under-exposure could
result if the subject is located to far from the camera.
Auto Backlight
The backlight will light up for 8 seconds and then go o if no buttons are
pressed. When the auto backlight function is enabled, pressing any button will
light it up after it goes o. When the auto backlight function is set to “disable”,
pressing the mode button will light it up.
TTL Pref
TTL may vary slightly when using the ash on dierent cameras. TTL Pref (C.Fn-
15) setting allows users to adjust EV from +3 to -3 in 1/3rd stops to compensate
for these slight variations. This adjustment is a personal preference based on
camera standard TTL and will be stored in memory. When this EV level prefer-
ence is set, this compensation will be used for images taken in TTL mode. This EV
compensation will not be displayed on the LCD during regular use.
