Quick Flash Function
The Quick Flash function allows the flash to fire at 1/6 to 1/2 of the full output.
Quick Flash recycle times are faster. It helps for snap photography for near sub-
jects.
Quick flash can be used for continuous drive modes, quick flash for continuous
shot function can be enabled or disabled (see C.Fn-06 above).
Please note:
The Quick Flash Function makes flash firing a priority. Under-exposure could
result if the subject is located to far from the camera.
Auto Backlight
The backlight will light up for 8 seconds and then go off if no buttons are
pressed. When the auto backlight function is enabled, pressing any button will
light it up after it goes off. When the auto backlight function is set to “disable”,
pressing the mode button will light it up.
TTL Pref
TTL may vary slightly when using the flash on different cameras. TTL Pref (C.Fn-
15) setting allows users to adjust EV from +3 to -3 in 1/3rd stops to compensate
for these slight variations. This adjustment is a personal preference based on
camera standard TTL and will be stored in memory. When this EV level prefer-
ence is set, this compensation will be used for images taken in TTL mode. This EV
compensation will not be displayed on the LCD during regular use.
