[. . . ] The flash unit will make a pre-flash, then calculate and memorize the amount of light necessary for the correct exposure. The camera's viewfinder will display "FEL" for 0. 5 sec and the correct exposure will be set. If the viewfinder shows mark, it means that power is not sufficient for correct exposure. For more details please refer to "FE lock" instructions of your camera manual. MODELING FLASH If useing the Modeling flash, you can check the lighting and shadow effects before taking the picture. (This function is limited to cameras which are compatible with modeling flash. For more details, please refer to the instruction manual of your camera) When the camera is set to modeling flash, the Flash panel will display the symbol automatically. EXPOSURE COMPENSATION You can use flash exposure compensation in combination with normal exposure compensation to control the background exposure level. Flash exposure compensation can be set to ±3 stops in 1/3 stop increments (or in 1/2 stop increments with some cameras). This mode cannot be used with EOS 620, 650, 700, 850 and 1000 cameras. Press the + or - button to set the desired flash exposure compensation amount. Check that the subject is within the flash range as displayed on the EF 610 DG Super's LCD panel. You can take the picture after confirming that the Ready Light of the flash is illuminated. To cancel exposure compensation, please start from step 1 and choose + 0 on display. FB (Flash Exposure Bracketing) With FB, you can get bracketed flash shots of the subject while the ambient exposure level remains constant. The bracketed flash shots can be taken in the sequence of correct exposure, under exposure and over exposure, up to ± 3 stops in 1/3EV increments (or 1/2EV increments with some cameras). Please check that the subject is within the flash range displayed on the EF- 610 DG Super's LCD panel. This function will be cancelled automatically after making the third exposure. MULTI FLASH MODE While the shutter is open, the flash will fire repeatedly. By doing so a series of images of the subject will be exposed in one frame. A bright subject with a dark background shows more effectively in this mode. The maximum number of flashes varies, depending on the flash's power output and firing frequency settings. Press the SEL button until the flash firing frequency starts to blink. After pressing the SEL button again, the flash power level will blink. When the ready light of the flash is illuminated, the unit is ready to use. Note: Please set the shutter speed longer than; Number of Flashes you want ÷ Firing Frequency 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. Press the lock button and adjust the flash head to set the bounce angle. [. . . ] After confirming that all flash units are fully charged, press the shutter button to take the picture. When the EF-610 DG SUPER is fully charged, the AF Auxiliary Light will blink. The flash will not fire if the EF-610 DG SUPER is attached to the camera body while it is in the Slave Mode setting. DESIGNATED SLAVE FLASH If using two or more EF-610 DG Super flash units, you can designate which flash will fire together by using the channel settings. In this mode, one flash unit will be used as the Slave Controller and the others for firing as Slaves. (The slave controller unit (Master Flash) will transmit the designated signal before the others fire. [. . . ]
