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.

CATCH LIGHT PANEL

This flash is equipped with a built-in catch

light panel, which can create a catch light in

the eyes of the subject when the bounce

flash mode is activated. Slide out the wide

panel and catch light panel, and then put

wide panel back in its place. (Be careful to

slide the panels out smoothly.)

◆ To create a catch light effectively, tilt the flash head upward 90 degrees and take pictures at a close

distance.

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-610 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.

22

◆

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.
