Calculating the Shutter Speed

During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera.

Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed

For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.

To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes’ rest for the camera flash.

● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective

subject against a dark background.

● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.

● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic

flash.

● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“buLb”.

● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will

continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

times. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.

● Press Function Button 4

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission

● You can set up three slave groups for TTL autoflash shooting.

With TTL autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.

● Any flash settings for the slave units on the master flash in

TTL/Manual/Multi mode will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit for each slave group without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.

● This flash can work in TTL /M /Multi / OFF flash modes when set

as a master unit. As a slave unit, TT685F is compatible with Godox X1 series transmitter e.g. X1T-C(For Canon), X1T-N(For Nikon), X1T-S(For Sony), X1T-F(For Fuji), X1T-O(For Olympus or Panasonic).

● Even with multiple slave units, the master unit can control

all of them via wireless.

● Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.

● Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting.

● The transmission distance might be shorter depending on the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the surrounding environment and whether conditions.

Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting

You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio (factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups.

● Auto Shooting with Two Slave Groups

● Auto Shooting with Three Slave Groups

Other Applications

Wireless Control Function

The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the flash triggering. To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16S remote control set (on-camera and on-flash). Insert its receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe. Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted transmit and receive ends will be wirelessly communicated to the flash. Then you can press the camera shutter release button to trigger the flash. You can also hold the transmit end at hand to control your off-camera flash.

For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user manual.

Sync Triggering

The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ3.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.

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 difficult 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 find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this

is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.

● The auto focus assist beam can only start up in the slow

shutter.

Bounce Flash

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.

-7-90

360

● If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might

be too weak and result in underexposure.

● The wall or the ceiling should be a plain, white color for

high reluctance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may appear in the picture.
