When using Manual ash
Use the following formula to select the aperture value.
Aperture value = Guide No. of this ash unit ÷ Distance between
the main light source and the subject
For details about this ash unit's guide No., refer to “Guide No.
Table (ISO 100)” on the page EN - 18.
Cameras other than Type R
Using the Mode select button, set the ash mode to SLAVE1 or
SLAVE2, according to the type of the camera's built-in ash. In
this case, the camera's Red-eye ash function is not available.
Wide panel
You can pull out the built-in
wide panel and place it
on the ash as shown in
the illustration to use a
shooting angle of 18 mm.
The catch-light panel will
be pulled out at the same
time so please push the
catch-light panel back inside.
Caution
Return the wide panel to its place when using bounce ash.
Reference
The wide panel diuses the light of the ash, making it eective
when you want to use a softer light or shooting close-ups.
Bounce ash
Mostly when shooting indoors, you can
use the ceiling or walls to reect the light
of the ash (Bounce ash). Bounce ash
can reduce hard shadows and result in
more natural pictures. Bounce ash can
also be convenient when shooting babies
and toddlers for whom a direct ash
would be too harsh.
You can change the angle of the ash
head upwards and set it to 45˚60˚
75˚90˚.
