the

Coverage
and
Using
the
Wide
Panel
The flash coverage can
be
set to match the lens focal length from
24mm to 105mm. The flash coverage can
be
set automatically or
manually. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can
be
expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses.
Press the
<ZOOM/~>
button.
Turn the <@ > dial to change the

If
<

is
not displayed, the flash
coverage will
be
set automatically.
[l]
Ifyou set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the lens focal
length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.
l~
If you use a commercially-available sync cord to connect the camera to
the Speedlite's
PC
terminal, set the flash zoom manually.
Using the Wide Panel
Pull out the wide panel and place
it
over
the flash head as shown. The flash
coverage will then
be
extended for
14mm.
The catchlight panel will come out at
the same time. Push the catchlight
panel back
in.
The
<ZOOM/~>
button will not
work.
[l]
The flash coverage will not be compatible with the EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
lens.
Ifyou use bounce flash with the wide panel
in
place, the entire display on
the LCD panel will blink as a warning. Since the subject will be
illuminated by both the bounce flash and direct flash, it will look
unnatural.
Pull outthe wide panel gently. Using excessive force may detach the
wide panel.
