< > button again to confirm. The next item to be set will blink.
After you finish the setting,
press <SET> button and all the settings will be displayed.
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.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission
When the camera’s shooting mode is set to a fully automatic
mode or an Image Zone mode, the operations in this chapter are not available. Set the camera’s shooting mode to P/Tv/Av/M/B (Creative Zone Mode).
The V860IIC attach to the camera is called the master unit,
and a V860IIC that is wirelessly controlled is called the slave unit.
You can also wirelessly control the V860IIC set as the slave
unit with the transmitter X1T-C (sold separately). For details on setting the master unit functions, see the transmitter’s instructions.
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 E-TTL II autoflash shooting. The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the picture. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II autoflash shooting just by setting the master unit to <ETTL>.

To add slave units, use the same steps as setting “automatic wireless flash with a single slave unit”. Any flash group can be set (A/B/C). When the number of slave units is increased and the master unit flash firing is ON, automatic control is implemented to make all groups of flashes fire the same flash output and ensure the total flash output up is to standard exposure.
Press the depth-of-field preview button on the camera to fire a modeling
flash.
If the slave unit’s auto power off function is workable, press the master
unit’s test button to power it on. Please note that test firing is unavailable during the camera’s regular metering time.

About Slave Group Control
Slave Group A
ID=A ID=A ID=A
When setting < RATIO A:B C >, group A, B and C will fire a
flash synchronously; when setting< RATIO A:B >, group C will not fire a flash.
If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the
main shooting subject, over exposure might occurred.
In some EOS film cameras that support E-TTL autoflash,
you cannot perform multiple flash wireless shooting with a flash ratio setting.
If three slave units are all set to <A> in terms of slave ID, these slave units will be controlled as if they were one camera flash in slave group A.
The flash ratio of 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1

Wireless Flash Shooting: Optic Transmission
This product supports wireless flash application and functions as either a master or a slave unit. As a master unit, it can control Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT via wireless. As a slave unit, it can receive wireless signals of Canon speedlites e.g. 580EXII, 600EX-RT and commanders of Canon cameras e.g. 7D/60D/600D.
You can set up two to three slave groups for E-TTL II autoflash
shooting. With E-TTL II autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.
Any flash settings (of flash exposure compensation, high-speed
sync, FE lock, FEB, manual flash, Multi flash) on the master unit will be automatically sent to the slave units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit to ETTL mode without any operation for the slave units at all during the shooting.
This flash can work in ETTL autoflash, M manual flash, and Multi
stroboscopic flash modes when set as a master unit.

When setting < RATIO A:B C >, group A, B and C will fire a
flash synchronously; when setting< RATIO A:B >, group C will not fire a flash.
If shooting under the situation that group C is toward the

In some EOS film cameras that support E-TTL autoflash,
you cannot perform multiple flash wireless shooting with a flash ratio setting.
If three slave units are all set to <A> in terms of slave ID, these slave units will be controlled as if they were one camera flash in slave group A.
The flash ratio of 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1

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 Φ2.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
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.
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.
The modeling flash cannot be fired with the EOS 300 and
Type-B cameras.

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.
-7-90

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

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
