Choose a white surface for bouncing the flash, otherwise the image's colour may be incorrect. Depending on the reflecting surface, the subject distance and other factors, the effective distance range for the TTL AUTO may change. Please check for correct exposure confirmation (ETTL or TTL mark on the LCD panel) after releasing the shutter. CLOSE-UP EXPOSURES Bounce flash can be tilted 7° downward for close-ups. The Flash will be effective only for the subjects will blink. When the flash head is tilted 7°, 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 wide panel back in its place. (Be careful to slide the panels out smoothly. ) To create a catch light effectively, tilt the flash head upward 90 degrees and take pictures at a close distance. WIRELESS FLASH When using the "Wireless Flash" mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional feeling, or make natural images by using shadowing depending on the flash position. This can be done without any extension cord connecting the camera body and flash. In case of the EF-610 DG SUPER, communication between the camera body and the flash will be achieved by the light produced by the flash. In the "Wireless Flash" mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically. The type A camera models can be used with "Wireless Manual Flash" and "Wireless Multi Flash" 9 functions only. The EOS750 and EOS850 cannot be used with "Wireless Flash". In this instruction we call the flash unit which is attached to the camera body the "Master unit " and we call a flash unit at a remote position a "Slave unit". When setting a slave unit at the desired position, you can use the mini-stand provided. This mini-stand has a screw hole for a tripod. Place the slave flash unit at the desired location. Do not place the slave unit within the picture area. Set the flash unit within the range of 0. 5m/1. 5ft~5m/16ft from the subject and set the camera body within the range of 1m/3ft~5m/16ft from the subject. Preparation for Wireless Flash Channel Setting When other people are using Wireless Flash mode near you, your flash may be connected with the other person's flash and your flash may fire. In this circumstance, please set a different channel for your flash from that of the other person's. Press the MODE button to Select the mark. Press the SEL button several times to make the channel indicator blink. Press the + or - button to set the channel number. Press the SEL button several times to stop the blinking. Press the MODE button to Select the ETTL mark. [. . . ] Press the SEL button to make the output amount display indicator of the flash blink. Press the + or ­ button to set the flash output amount. Set the flash power by setting the distance indicator on the LCD panel to coincide as closely as possible with the actual distance from the slave flash to the subject. If the actual distance is out of range, you need to change the aperture value. Press the SEL button several times to make the display stop blinking. [. . . ]
