expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
Press <MODE> button so
1that < > is displayed.
Turn the Select Dial to choose
2a desired flash output.
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
by the following table.

Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains open until the r-
ing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed
and set it with the camera.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring fre-
quency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
Flash Mode – Multi:Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic ash, a rapid series of ashes is red. It can
be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a
single photograph.
You can set the ring frequency (number of ashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of ashes, and the ash output.
1Press <MODE> button so that < M ULTI > is displayed.

displayed.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the ash head, do
not use stroboscopic ash more than 10 times in succes-
sion. After 10 times, allow the camera ash to rest for at
least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic ash
more than 10 times in succession, the ring might stop
automatically to protect the ash head. If this happens,
allow at least 15 minutes’ rest for the camera ash.
•Stroboscopic ash is most effective with a highly reec-
tive subject against a dark background.
•Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
•A ash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for strobo-
scopic ash.
•Stroboscopic ash can be used with“bulb”.
•If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the ring
will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is ex-
hausted. The number of ashes will be limited as shown
by the following table.

The following table makes it easier to see how the stop changes in
terms of f/stop when you increase or decrease the flash output. For
example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-
0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3,
1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.
Optical S1 Secondary Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press Function Button 3 < > button so
that this flash can function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic
sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the
main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers.
This helps create multiple lighting effects.
Optical S2 Secondary Unit Setting
Press Function Button 3 < > button so that this flash can also
function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M
manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash
function. With this function, the flash will ignore a single “preflash”
from the main flash and will only fire in response to the second,
actual flash from the main unit.
● S1 and S2 optical triggering is only available in M manual
flash mode.
Manual Off Camera High-speed Setting
In M manual flash mode, press Function Button 4< > button to
select high-speed mode and is displayed.

times. Turn the Select Dial to
set the number.
● Press Function Button 4
< > to select the flash
frequency. Turn the Select
Dial to set the number.
● After you finish the setting,
press <SET> button and all
the settings will be displayed.
Flash Mode -- Multi:Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be
used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single
photograph.
You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
Press <MODE> button so
1that < > is displayed.
Turn the Select Dial to choose
2a desired flash output.
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
by the following table.

Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can
wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the flash
triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16S
remote control set (on-camera and on-flash). Insert its
receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash
and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe.
Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted
transmit and receive ends will
be wirelessly communicated
to the flash. Then you can
press the camera shutter
release button to trigger the
flash. You can also hold the
transmit end at hand to control
your off-camera flash.
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user
manual.
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ3.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here
and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
Auto Focus Assist Beam
In poorly-lit or low-contrast shooting environments, the built-in auto
focus assist beam will automatically light on to make it easier for
autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is difficult
and get out as soon as the autofocus becomes correct.
If you want to turn off the auto focus assist beam, set the “AF” to
“OFF” on the C.Fn settings.
● If you find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this
is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.
● The auto focus assist beam can only start up in the slow
shutter.

Bounce Flash
By pointing the ash head toward a wall or ceiling, the ash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can
soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking
shot. This is called bounce ash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the ash head and turn it
to a satisfying angle.
360
-7-90
•If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced ash
might be too weak and result in underexposure.
•The wall or the ceiling should be a plain, white color for
high reluctance. If the bounce surface is not white, a
color cast may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the
subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.
1Point the ash head upward by 90°.
2Pull out the wide panel. The catchlight panel will come
out at the same time.
3Push the wide panel back in.
•Push in only the wide
panel.
•Follow the same proce-
dures as for bounce ash.
•Point the ash head straight ahead and then upward
by 90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the
ash head left or right.
•For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from
the subject.
