Even if the EF-530 DG SUPER is not attached to the camera body, you can fire the flash by using the
camera’s built-in flash or another flash unit.

Set the camera’s exposure mode to the desired mode. If you use A or M mode, also set the desired aperture value.

Now, the aperture value and film speed are automatically
transmitted to the flash unit.

Determine the appropriate flash output by setting the distance indicator on the LCD panel to coincide as
closely as possible with the actual distance from the slave flash to the subject. If the actual distance is
out of range, you will need to change the aperture value or film speed.
a. To change the aperture value: When the flash unit is set to the Slave mode, press the SEL button
until the aperture value blinks, then press the + or – button to set the desired aperture value. Then
press the SEL button to stop the display blinking.
b. To change the film speed: Press
MODE
to select the ISO, then press the SEL button to make the
indicator for the aperture value blink. Press the + or – button and set the desired film speed, then
press the SEL button once again. You will need to press the
MODE
button several times to return to
the slave mode.
8. Press the SEL button several times to make the display stop blinking.
9. Place the slave unit in the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
10. After confirming that all flash units are fully charged, press the shutter button to take the picture.
When the EF-530 DG SUPER is fully charged, the AF Auxiliary Light will blink.
The flash will not fire if the EF-530 DG SUPER is attached to the camera body while it is in the Slave
Mode setting.
If you are using a Canon brand flash unit with ETTL function on your camera and the EF-530 DG Super
flash unit as a slave unit, please do not use the ETTL function, as the monitor pre-flash may cause the
slave to fire prematurely.
