NOTE
Manual light output control and aperture selection:
• To extend the flash shooting distance range, select the 1/1 light
output setting or set the lens to a larger aperture (lower f-number).
To reduce the flash shooting distance range, select the 1/16 light
output setting or set the lens to a smaller aperture (higher f-
number).
• To ensure sharpness in both background and foreground, set the
lens to a smaller aperture (higher f-number), and select a larger
light output setting (closer to 1/1).
• To shorten flash recycling time, select a much smaller light output
setting (closer to 1/16) and set a larger aperture (lower f-number).
Other camera/lens combinations
1) While looking at the indicator bar “¡”, press the “F” button to
change the aperture and bring the subject within flash shooting
distance range. Next, read the aperture value.
2) Set the corresponding value on the lens aperture ring or on the
camera.
