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 bright subject with a dark background 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’s power output and firing frequency
settings. (Please refer to table 3 on the last page).
This function cannot be used with EOS 700, 750, 850 cameras.

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°, 90
LEFT: 0°, 60°, 75°,90°, 120°, 150°, 180°
When the bounce flash mode is activated, a bounce indicator
will
appear on the LCD panel.
Choose a white surface for bouncing the flash, otherwise the image’s
colour may be incorrect.
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
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 using the “Wireless Flash” mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional feeling, or
make natural images by using shadowing depending on the flash position. This can be done without any
extension cord connecting the camera body and flash. In case of the EF-530 DG SUPER, communication
between the camera body and the flash will be achieved by the light produced by the flash. In the “Wireless
Flash” mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically.
The type A camera models can be used with “Wireless Manual Flash” and “Wireless Multi Flash”
functions only. The EOS750 and EOS850 cannot be used with “Wireless Flash”.
In this instruction we call the flash unit which is attached to the camera body the “Master unit ” and we
call a flash unit at a remote position a “Slave unit”.
When setting a slave unit at the desired position, you can use the mini-stand provided. This mini-stand
has a screw hole for a tripod.
Place the slave flash unit at the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area.
Set the flash unit within the range of 0.5m/1.5ft~5m/16ft from the subject and set the camera body within
the range of 1m/3ft~5m/16ft from the subject.
