ForYour Safety
Always keep this product dry. Do not use in rain or in damp
conditions.
This product contains high-voltage electronic parts. Touching
the high-voltage circuit inside it may result in electric shock.
Do not disassemble. Should repairs become necessary, this
product must be sent to an authorized maintenance center.
Stop using this product if it breaks open due to extrusion,
falling or strong hit. Otherwise, electric shock may occur if
you touch the electronic parts inside it.
Do not re the ash directly into the eyes (especially those of
babies) within short distances. Otherwise visual impairment
may occur. When taking pictures for babies, keep the ash
unit at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from them. Using bounce
ash to reduce light intensity is also recommended.
Do not use the ash unit in the presence of ammable
gases, chemicals and other similar materials. In certain cir-
cumstances, these materials may be sensitive to the strong
light emitting from this ash unit and re or electromagnetic
interference may result.
Do not leave or store the ash unit in places where the
ambient temperature reads over 50°C (e.g. in automobile).
Otherwise the electronic parts may be damaged.

Power Management
Use ON/OFF Power Switch to power the ash unit on or off.
Turn off if it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Setting as a master ash, it will turn the power off automatically
after a certain period (approx. 90 seconds) of idle use. Pressing
the camera shutter halfway or pressing any ash button will
wake up the ash unit. Setting as a slave ash, it will enter sleep
mode after a certain period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of
idle use. Pressing any ash button will wake it up.

period (adjustable, 60 minutes by default) of idle use. Pressing any
flash button will wake it up.
Disabling Auto Power Off function is recommended
when the flash is used off camera. (C.Fn-APO, Page 74)
Slave Auto Power Off Timer is set to 60 minutes by
default. Another option “30 minutes” is available. (C.Fn-
Sv APOT, Page 74)
FEC: Flash Exposure Compensation
With FEC function, this flash can adjust from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops.
It is useful in situations where minor adjusting of the TTL system is
needed based on the environment.
Setting FEC:
Set the flash exposure
2compensation amount.
● Turn the Select Dial to set
the amount.
● “0.3”means 1/3 step,
“0.7”means 2/3 step.
● To cancel the flash
exposure compensation,
set the amount to “+0”.
Press < SET > button again
3to confirm the setting.
Press Function Button 2
1< >. The icon < >
and flash exposure
compensation amount will be
highlighted on the LCD
panel.
FEB: Flash Exposure Bracketing
You can take three flash shots while automatically changing the
flash output for each shot from -3 to +3 in 1/3rd stops. The camera
will record three images with different exposures: one exposed
according to camera calculations, one over-exposed and another
under-exposed. Over and under exposure amount is user
adjustable. This function helps get correct exposure especially in
shooting moving objects or when environmental lights are complex.
Flash Mode—E-TTL Autoflash
This flash has three flash modes: E-TTL, Manual (M), and Multi
(Stroboscopic). In E-TTL mode, the camera and the flash will work
together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the
background. In this mode, multiple TTL functions are available:
FEC, FEB, FEL, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash, control
with the camera’s menu screen.
* Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button and three flash modes
will display on the LCD panel one by one with each pressing.
ETTL Mode
Press < MODE > Mode Selection Button to enter E-TTL mode. The
LCD panel will display.
● Press the camera release button halfway to focus. The aperture
and effective flash range will be displayed in the viewfinder.
● When the shutter button is fully pressed, the flash will fire a pre-
flash that the camera will use to calculate exposure and flash
output the instant before the photo is taken.

With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be

expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
Press <MODE> button so

Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing
stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set
it with the camera.
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is
5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not
use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession.
After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15
minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10
times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to
protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15
minutes’ rest for the camera flash.
● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective
subject against a dark background.
● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic
flash.
● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“buLb”.
● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will
continue until the shutter closes or the battery is
exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown

Wireless Flash Shooting:
Radio (2.4G)Transmission
•When the camera’s shooting mode is set to a fully auto-
matic mode or an Image Zone mode, the operations in
this chapter are not available. Set the camera’s shooting
mode to P/Tv/Av/M/B (Creative Zone Mode).
•The CUlight FR 60C attach to the camera is called the
master unit, and a CUlight FR 60C that is wirelessly
controlled is called the slave unit.
•You can also wirelessly control the CUlight FR 60C set
as the slave unit with the transmitter CUlight RT 500C
(sold separately). For details on setting the master unit
functions, see the transmitter’s instructions.
Using a ash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless
shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced wireless
multiple ash lighting, in the same way as E-TTL II autoash
shooting.
The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in
the picture. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II autoash
shooting just by setting the master unit to <ETTL>.

Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless ash
shooting)
•Autoash Shooting with One Slave Unit
Transmission distance is
about 100m.
•Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.
•Before shooting, perform a test ash and test shooting.
•The transmission distance might be shorter depending
on the conditions such as positioning of slave units, the
surrounding environment and whether conditions.
Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting
You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and
perform E-TTL II autoash while changing the ash ratio (factor).
In addition, you can set and shoot with a different ash mode for
each ring group, for up to 5 groups.

wireless shooting using optic transmission, such as being less
affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit’s
