MULTI FLASH MODE
While the shutter is open, the flash will fire repeatedly. By doing so a series of images of the subject will be
exposed in one frame. A dark background with a bright subject shows more effectively in this mode. It is
possible to set the firing frequency between 1Hz and 199Hz. Up to 100 flashes can be fired continuously.
The maximum number of flashes varies, depending on the flash guide number and firing frequency settings.
(Please refer to table3 on the last page).

BOUNCE FLASH
When you take a photo with flash in a room, sometimes a strong shadow will appear behind the subject, if
you point the flash head upwards or sideways to reflect the light off the ceiling, wall etc. the subject will be
illuminated softly. Press the lock button and adjust the flash head to set the bounce angle.
UP: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90° DOWN: 0°,7°
RIGHT: 0°, 60°, 75°, 90r LEFT: 0°, 60°, 75°,90°, 120°, 150°, 180°
When the bounce flash mode is activated, a bounce indicator
will
appear on the LCD panel.
The picture will receive the color from the reflecting surface. Please
choose a white surface for bouncing.
Depending on the reflecting surface, the subject distance and other
factors, the effective distance range for the TTL AUTO may change.
Please check for correct exposure confirmation (ETTL or TTL mark on
the LCD panel) after releasing the shutter.
Close-up Exposures
For bounce flash can be tilted 7° downward for close-ups. The Flash will be effective only for the subjects
0.5 meter to 2 meters. When the flash head is tilted 7°
will blink.
WIRELESS FLASH
When you use the “Wireless Flash” mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional feeling by
shadow, or you can make natural image by shadow depending on the flash position, without any extension
cordconnecting the camera body and flash. In case of EF-500 Super, communication between the camera
body and the flash will be done by the light of the flash. In the “Wireless Flash” mode, the camera will
calculate the correct exposure automatically.
ۋThe camera models of B type, can be used with “Wireless Manual Flash” and “Wireless Multi Flash”
functions only. The EOS750 and EOS850 cannot be used with “Wireless Flash”.
ۋIn this instruction, we call a flash unit, which is attached to the camera body “Master unit ”, and we call a
flash unit at a remote position “Slave unit”.
ۋWhen you set a slave unit at the desired position, you can use mini-stand. This mini-stand has a screw
hole for a tripod.
ۋPlace the slave flash unit at the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
ۋPlease set the flash unit within the range of 0.5m/1.5ft~5m/16ft from the subject and set the camera body
