FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

In TTL mode, you can apply flash exposure compensation by pressing the flash exposure compensation button on your camera and adjust the flash exposure level up and down with your camera’s controls.

The range and control of flash exposure compensation vary between different camera models. Consult your camera manual for more information about this feature.

POWER SAVE MODE

If there is no communication between the flash and the camera for approximately 3 minutes, the flash will automatically enter power save mode to conserve battery power. In this mode, "OFF" will appear on the LCD. The Ready light will be off in power save mode.

To reactivate the flash, press any button on the LCD panel or the camera’s shutter release button.

If you are not going to use your flash for an extended period, we recommend that you power the flash off completely, using the power switch.
