闪，会进行高速闪光。

闪光模式：RPT 频闪闪光

使用频闪闪光，可以发出一系列快速的闪光。它可以在一张照片上拍

摄移动物体的多个图像。

您可以设置闪光频率(每秒的闪光次数，以Hz表示)、闪光次数和闪光

输出。

按<MODE>闪光模式选择

按钮，屏幕显示<RPT>。

转动调节旋钮设置闪光输出

功率。

计算快门速度

在频闪闪光过程中，到闪光停止为止快门应保持开启状态。使用下面

的公式计算快门速度，然后用相机进行设置。

闪光次数/闪光频率＝快门速度

例如，如果闪光次数是10，闪光频率是5Hz，快门速度则至少为2秒。

为防止闪光灯头过热并损坏，请勿执行连续10次以上的频闪

闪光连拍。闪光10次后，请让闪光灯至少冷却15分钟。如果

您试图执行连续10次以上的频闪闪光连拍，为防止闪光灯头

过热，闪光可能自动停止。如果发生了这种情况，请让闪光

灯至少冷却15分钟。

●

反光很强的被摄体在暗背景前使用频闪闪光更加有效。

推荐使用三脚架和遥控开关。

闪光输出为1/1和1/2时不能设置频闪闪光。

频闪闪光时也可以使用“buLb”。

如果闪光次数显示为--，则闪光灯会连续闪光，直到快门或

电池耗尽。如下表所示，闪光次数将受到限制。

Flash Mode — RPT: Stroboscopic Flash

With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.

Press <MODE> button so

that < RPT > is displayed.

Turn the Select Dial to choose

a desired flash output.

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.

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.

Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed

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.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission

Using a flash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced wireless multiple flash lighting, in the same way as i-TTL autoflash shooting. The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the picture. You can then perform wireless i-TTL autoflash shooting just by setting the master unit to <i-TTL>.

Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting)

● Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit

●

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.

Transmission distance is about 100m.

You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform i-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

Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting

Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless shooting using optic transmission, such as being less affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit’s wireless sensor toward the master unit. The main functional differences are as follows:

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.

Page 24

● To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do

not fire 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.

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.

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.

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

be too weak and result in underexposure. 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.

●

Creating a Catchlight

With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.

Point the flash head upward

by 90° . Pull out the wide panel. The

catchlight panel will come out at the same time.

Modeling Flash

If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire the flash continuously for 1 second. This is called modeling flash. It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the lighting balance. You can fire the modeling flash during wireless or normal flash shooting.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel

The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set to match the lens focal length from 20 mm to 200mm. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses.

In Manual Zoom mode, press the <ZOOM/C.FN> button.

Turn the Select Dial to change the flash coverage. If < > is displayed, the flash 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.

Using the Wide Panel

Pull out the wide panel and place it

over the flash head as shown. The

flash coverage will then be extended

to 14 mm.

● The catchlight panel will come out

at the same time. Push the

catchlight panel back in.

● The <ZOOM/C.FN> button will not

work.

Protection Function

1. Over-Temperature Protection

● To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire

more than 30 continuous flashes in fast succession at 1/1 full power. After 30 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 minutes.

● If you fire more than 30 continuous flashes and then fire more

flashes in short intervals, the inner over-temperature protection function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10 seconds. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, and the flash unit will then return to normal.

● When the over-temperature protection is started, is shown on

the LCD display.
