Flash Mode — TTL Autoflash
Press < > Mode Selection Button to enter TTL mode. The OLED panel is
displayed <TTL >.
* Press < > Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on
the OLED panel one by one with each pressing.
TTL Mode
This flash has three flash modes: TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscopic).
In 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.
High-Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all camera
shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use aperture priority for
fill-flash portraits.
Please use the X2 series
2transmitter to trigger.
Long Press Wireless Button
1< > for 2 seconds so that
< > is displayed.
• With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective
flash range.
• Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
• Over-temperature protection may be activated after 60 consecutive high-
speed sync flashes.
The flash output is adjustable from 1/1 full power to 1/256th power in 1/10th
step or 1 step increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-
held flash meter to determine the required flash output.
Press < > button so that
1< M > is displayed.
Turn the Select Dial or press the SET
2button and turn the Select Dial
simultaneously to set the flash output. The
flash output will be adjustable from 1/10th
increasment or 1 step increasment by
turning the Select Dial directly or pressing
the SET button and turn the Select Dial
simultaneously.

MODE
Press the <MENU> button to enter C.FN-PHOTOC to choose S2 function,
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.
Optic S1 Secondary Unit Setting
In M manual flash mode, press the <MENU> button to enter C.FN-PHOTOC
to choose S1 function, 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.
Optic S2 Secondary Unit Setting
● S1 and S2 optic triggering is only available in M manual flash mode.
