the placement of the slave flash
should have more space.
Before placing of the slave flash, test
whether S1/S2 can be synchronous
normally.
Do not place any obstacles between the host flash and the slave
flash, because they may block the transmission of radio signals.
In radio flash mode (S1 or S2), if the flash is idle for 30min, it will
power off automatically in order to save power

2. Exposure Bracketing (FEB)

The FEB function is set on
method, refer to your Camera Instructions. After the FEB is set,

the camera. For the specific setting

-7-

after 3 photos are taken, exposure compensation will be made
automatically in the sequence of, for example, “normal

over”. This function helps you improve the success rate of

photo taking.

3. FV Lock (Nikon)

Set the AE-L/AF-L function as FV Lock on the camera before
using this function. At this time, you can aim at your desired
object in the viewfinder and then press the AE-L key or AF-L key,
in such case, the flash light will pre-flash to get the reading of
flash exposure for the object; after you have confirmed the scene
frame, press the shutter. (This function can only be available when
your camera supports it; for
your camera manual)

4. FE Lock (Canon)

To use this function, cover the subject for which flash exposure
will be locked at the center of the viewfinder of camera, press the
button <*> of the flash exposure lock, and the flash light will
pre-flash and the camera will calculate the appropriate flash
output data. Now you have some time for recomposition, after
which, you can take photo. (The function can be used only when it
is supported by your camera. For the setti
Camera Instructions.)

5. Rear-curtain Sync

You can use slow-speed shutter to produce trailing smear for the
object and the flash light will flash at the moment when the shutter
is going to be shut, which means the rear-curtain sync
function .(For the rear-curtain sync setting, refer to your camera
manual for setting)

6. Application of AF LED

If the object or environment lacks sufficient light, the camera can
not conduct accurate focusing; at this time, the flash light can give

AF light to assist in the camera’s focusing so as to achieve

out
accurate focusing.

7. Exposure Compensation

You can use the exposure compensation function of this camera to
compensate flash output so as to make shooting effect better meet
your requirements. （ For Canon version, the exposure
compensation function on camera is available only in TTL mode)
In the TTL mode, you can also make compensation of flash

brightness with the [Output c
with the precision of 1/3ev. Please Note that this compensation
setting will override the exposure compensation setting on the
camera.

8. Reflection Flash

Bounce flash means to take photos by making flash light head
aimed at wall or ceiling and using the light reflected back from the
ceiling or wall to light the desired object, so that the shade behind
the object can be decreased to get
more natural shooting effect.
If the wall or ceiling is too far,
bounce flash may be too weak to
get enough exposure. The wall or
ceiling should be even and white
in order to get efficient reflection;
if the reflection surface is not
white, color cast may appear in photo.

9. Use Reflection Board to Take Photos

With the reflection board flash, draw the reflection board and the
wide-angle diffusion board out from the light head at the same
time and then push the wide-angle
diffusion board back. In such case,
if this product is being used to take

tos, it will produce a

pho
highlighted point on the eyes of
the subject and thus make the eyes
charming (catch light). This
function can reach optimal effect
when the flasher head is up 90°.

10. Use Wide-angle Diffuser

Pull out the wide-angle diffusion board,
push back the reflection board and
arrange them as per the figure; in such
case, the flash scopes will extent to 18
mm and the flash effect will be softer and
more natural.
