4.2 Adjusting Flash Output (Manual Mode)

In Manual (M) mode, you can precisely control the flash output. Use the rotary dial or swipe on the touchscreen to adjust the power from 1/1 (full power) down to 1/128, with fine adjustments in 0.3 stop increments.

4.3 TTL Auto-Exposure

The TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode automatically meters the light through your camera's lens and calculates the optimal flash output for perfectly exposed images. This mode is ideal for quick and consistent results in varying lighting conditions.
