[. . . ] Please take special note of the two cautionary signs below. Using the product disregarding this warning sign might cause serious injury or other dangerous results. Using the product disregarding this caution sign might cause injury or damage. Symbol denotes the important points, where warning and caution are required. [. . . ] The illumination stays on longer than 8sec, if you press the LIGHT button once again. In a dark place, it will be easy to focus by using the auxiliary light. This fuction is very convenient when composing pictures where auto focus does not operate well or where focus adjusment in manual is difficult. Turn on the power switch of the flash, the ETTL (TTL) mark will appear on the LCD panel and flash will start charging. If this indication does not appear, the flash illumination is not sufficent for that situation. Please re-take the picture at a closer distance. When the camera is set to Creative Zone, please remember that the flash will be set to the last chosen mode each time. when the flash is fully charged , the flash mark will appear in the finder. If the shutter is released before the flash is fully charged, the camera will take the picture at a slow shutter speed, with no flash. It is possible to give the three dimensional effect to your pictures by adjusting the flash ratio of left or right flash tube or by firing only one side of the flash. Pressing + button will increase the left flashtube and pressing ­ button will increase the power amount of the right flashtube. Flash intensity of left and right tubes can be set between 1/1~1/64. (If " -- " is displayed, the left flashtube will not fire). If the flash output level values of both tubes are the same, the flash output level will be displayed. When the different flash intensity is set, the flash output level will not be displayed on the LCD. You can calculate the correct exposure by using the following formula: Guide Number "GN" / Flash to Subject Distance = F-stop When you photograph a moving subject with slow synchronization, usually the furrow of the subject will be exposed in front of the subject. The ordinary flash light will fire when the first shutter curtain is fully opened, thus the subject will be exposed from the time flash is fired to the time the shutter is closed (First curtain synchronization). When you use second curtain synchronization, the flash will fire just before the second curtain begins to closes, and the subject will be exposed by ambient light from the time the shutter opens until the flash fires. As a result the furrow of the subject will be recorded behind the subject. This mode cannot be used with EOS 700, 750, 850 cameras. Adjust the focus, and take the picture after confirming the ready light. First curtain synchronization will be set, if mark is not displayed. [. . . ] With FB, you can get bracketed flash shots of the subject, while the ambient exposure level remains constant. Wireless ETTL Auto Flash photography, high speed synchro (FP), FE lock, exposure compensation, and FB (Flash Exposure Bracketing) can be used together. After setting Wireless photography, please operate it according to each feature. Operation of the slave unit is not necessary. [. . . ]
