Using the Manual Flash Mode

You can also set the VS-570OP’s ash output level manually for greater creative control over your images.

Seven manual settings are available: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64. The 1/1 setting is the full-power

ash, and each successive setting halves the light output. To use the manual mode, turn the ash and camera

on and follow these steps:

1. Press the Mode button repeatedly to cycle through

the ash modes until “M” and the ash output

level indicator show on the LCD. Press the up or

down buttons to set the desired ash output level.

The output level will cycle through in

both directions.

2. Set the exposure settings you want to use on your

camera. The highest shutter speed available will

be your camera’s ash sync speed. To use higher shutter speeds, switch to automatic TTL mode and

activate high-speed sync (see Using High-Speed Sync on page 18).

3. Take a test shot, and check the exposure on your camera’s LCD.

4. Adjust your camera’s exposure settings and the light output level of the ash as needed.
