• Turn on the flash and the camera.
• Select i-TTL mode using the MODE button.
• The flash will communicate with the camera to set the appropriate exposure.

• Select M mode using the MODE button.
• Use the directional pad to adjust the flash output power.
• Take a test shot and adjust power as needed.

Multi mode fires the flash repeatedly during a single exposure, creating a stroboscopic effect. You can set the flash frequency (Hz), number of flashes, and flash output.

• Select Multi mode using the MODE button.
• Use the directional pad and Fn button to set the frequency, number of flashes, and power.

4. Master/Slave Modes (Wireless Flash)

  • Modeu S1: Optical slave mode that triggers the flash upon detecting the first flash from a master unit. Suitable for manual flash.
  • Modeu S2: Optical slave mode that ignores the pre-flash from a master unit and triggers on the main flash. Suitable for i-TTL flash.

To use slave modes, ensure the flash's optical sensor is facing the master flash or camera's built-in flash.

• Activate HSS on the flash unit (usually via the Fn button or a dedicated HSS icon on the display).
• Set your camera's shutter speed above its normal sync speed.

2. Rear-Curtain Sync

Rear-curtain sync fires the flash just before the second curtain closes, creating a natural-looking trail of light behind moving subjects when using slow shutter speeds.

• Activate Rear-curtain sync through the flash's custom functions or camera settings.
