Following is the explanation for how to use the camera's
built-in ash as a trigger.
Type R cameras
If you are using the camera’s built-in ash as a trigger, do not
attach this ash unit to the hot shoe. The built-in ash may not
be able to open.
1 Turn on the power of the camera and the ash unit and set the
ash to always re.
2
Set the ash mode to SLAVE1 with the Mode select button.
When set to slave mode, the ash unit’s AF auxiliary light
blinks.
3 Set the ash power level to Ambient light auto (F2.8 to 5.6) or
Manual ash (1/4 or FULL) with the Flash power level select
button.
Caution
The camera's Red-eye ash function is not available.
When using Ambient light auto
Set the aperture value.
1
Manually select the aperture on the camera to match the
aperture value selected on the ash unit. If the camera does
not oer the exact same value, select the closest value. When
using a zoom lens, check the aperture value again after
adjusting the zoom and correct the aperture value if necessary.
2 Use the supplied ash stand or other device to place the ash
unit at the desired location and adjust its angle as desired.
3 Press the camera's shutter release button once to check that
the ash res under the conditions selected.
If the ash does not re, verify the position of the slave sensor
and the operating distance.
If after checking the results of a test shot the image is too dark,
select a smaller aperture value on the camera. If it is too bright,
select a larger aperture value instead.
