The table shows the number of flashes that activate over-temperature protection at different power output levels, both in normal and high-speed sync modes.
2. Other Protections:
The system provides real-time protection. Prompts on the LCD panel indicate issues:
- E0: Temperature sensor failure. Send to maintenance center.
- E1: Recycling system failure. Restart flash; if persists, send to maintenance center.
- E2: Excessive heat. Allow a 10-minute rest.
- E3: High voltage on flash tube outlets. Send to maintenance center.
Advanced Application:
• Bounce Flash:
Point the flash head towards a wall or ceiling to bounce light, softening shadows for a natural look. Adjust the bounce direction by holding the flash head. For best results, use a plain white surface. Avoid distant or non-white surfaces.
• Creating a Catchlight:
Use the catchlight panel to add life to facial expressions by creating a catchlight in the subject's eyes. Point the flash head upward by 90°. Pull out the wide panel, which also brings out the catchlight panel. Push the wide panel back in. For best effect, maintain a distance of 1.5m/4.9ft from the subject.
• Using the Wide Panel:
Pull out the built-in wide panel to enlarge the flash lighting range for softer, more natural lighting. The coverage extends to 14mm. The catchlight panel also comes out and can be pushed back in.
