WIRELESS FLASH
When you use the “Wireless Flash” mode, you can take pictures with a more three-dimensional effect
by shadow, or you can make natural image by shadow depending on the flash position, without any
extension cord connecting the camera body and the flash. In the case of the EF-610 DG SUPER
SO-ADI, communication between the camera body and the flash will be done by the means of the light
of the flash. In the “Wireless Flash” mode, the camera will calculate the correct exposure automatically.
◆ In this instruction, we call a flash unit, which is attached to the camera body the “Controller”, and we
call a flash unit at a remote position the “off-camera flash”.
◆ It would be helpful to use a mini-stand when the flash unit is separated from the camera. The
mini-stand has a threaded hole to attach the flash unit to a tripod.
◆ Make sure not to position the flash your picture area.
◆ Place the flash approximately between 0.5m~5m(1.5-5.6ft) range, and camera approximately
1m~5m(3-16ft) range from the subject.
◆ In case of other people using Wireless Flash mode near you, your flash may be influenced by the
other person’s flash and your flash may fire. In this circumstance, please set your flash to a
different channel; from that of the other person’s flash. Please refer to above settings.
