Sigma ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-610 DG SUPER PA-PTTL (ペンタックス用): WIRELESS FLASH

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

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

distance.

WIRELESS FLASH

(Only for P-TTL compatible cameras)

When you use the “Wireless Flash” mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional effect

by shadow, or you can make natural image by shadow depending on the flash position, without any

extension cord connecting the camera body and the flash. In the case of the EF-610 DG SUPER

PA-PTTL, communication between the camera body and the flash will be done by the means of the

light of the flash. In the “Wireless Flash” mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure

automatically.

◆ It would be helpful to use a mini-stand when the flash unit is separated from the camera. The

mini-stand has a threaded hole to attach the flash unit to a tripod.

◆ Make sure not to position the flash your picture area.

◆ Place the flash approximately between 0.5m-5m (1.5-5.6ft) range, and camera approximately

1m-5m (3-16ft) range from the subject.

◆ In case of other people using Wireless Flash mode near you, your flash may be influenced by the

other person’s flash and your flash may fire. In this circumstance, please set your flash to a different

channel; from that of the other person’s flash. Please refer to above settings.
