H: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel

The flash coverage can be set to match the lens focal length from 24mm to 105mm. The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses.

Press the <G> button.

Turn the <9> dial to change the flash coverage.

If <d> is not displayed, the flash coverage will be set automatically.

If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark periphery.

If you use a commercially-available sync cord to connect the camera to the Speedlite’s PC terminal, set the flash zoom manually.

Using the Wide Panel

Pull out the wide panel and place it over the flash head as shown. The flash coverage will then be extended for 14mm.

The catchlight panel will come out at the same time. Push the catchlight panel back in.

The <G> button will not work.

The flash coverage will not be compatible with the EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens.

If you use bounce flash with the wide panel in place, the entire display on the LCD panel will blink as a warning. Since the subject will be illuminated by both the bounce flash and direct flash, it will look unnatural.

Pull out the wide panel gently. Using excessive force may detach the wide panel.
