Control System Change
Control System of “Wireless Flash” is different for each camera. First it is necessary to attach the flashgun to the
camera for activating the control system. If this operation is neglected, wireless function may not work when
flashgun is separated from the camera.
1. Attach the flashgun to the camera and turn on the power switch of the flashgun and camera.
2. Press the shutter button of camera halfway. (The camera and flashgun communicate and control system will
be switched automatically.)
3. Turn off the power switch of the flashgun and camera.
When Built-in Flash is Used (SA-7, SA-9 and SD14)
1. Press the MODE button to select the mark.
2. Press the SEL button to make the channel indicator blink.
3. Press the + button or – button to set the channel.
4. Press the SEL button to stop the indicator blinking.
5. Place the EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL at the desired position.
■ Do not place the flash unit within the picture area.
■ Please be set the flash unit between 0.5m 5m (1.6 ~16ft) from the
subject, and set the camera body between 1m 5m (1.6~16ft) from the subject.
■ Be sure to set the camera’s flash mode to “Wireless Flash Mode”, and set the channel number on the
EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL Flash unit to the same channel number as that you set on the camera.
Otherwise, the EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL and your camera will not communicate with each other and
the EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL will not fire, when you take picture.
6. Pop-up the camera’s built-in flash, and then after both flashes are fully charged, press the shutter button
to take the picture.
■ AF Auxiliary Light on the EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL will blink, when the flash unit charged and is
ready to fire.
■ The EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL will fire when the built-in flash fires. The camera’s built-in flash is fired
only to control the EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL only. The flash lighting of the subject is done by the
EF-530 DG SUPER SA-STTL. The camera will control the flash power level, as a TTL mode flash, to
Obtain correct exposure.
