Setting the flash coverage
Using the wide panel
Pull out the wide panel and put it on the flash head as
the picture show.
Pull out the wide panel gently, excessive force may detach the wide panel.
Stroboscopic flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture multiple
images of a moving subject in a single photograph. You can set the firing frequency
(number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.

Press again <SET> button, exit the setting mode.
Calculating the shutter speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter release remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below
to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera.
Number of flashes / Firing frequency = Shutter speedFor example, if the number of flashes is 10T and the
firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 sec.
Stroboscopic flash
A To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash
more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the flash to rest for at least
15 min. 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 the
flash to reset for at least 15 min.
Е Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark
background.Using a tripod, a remote switch and external power source is
recommended. A flash output of 1/1 or 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic flash.

Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward 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. |
9 If the wall or ceiling is 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 coor cast may
result 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.
1. Point the flash head upward by 90°
2. Pull out the wide panel.
) ® The catchlight panel will come out at the same time.
3. Push the wide panel back in.
® Push in only the wide panel.
В © Follow the same procedure as for bounce flash.
© Point the flash head straight ahad and then upward by 90°. The catchlight will not
