Turning On the Flash and Firing a Test
|

Overheating protection mode:
If the operating temperature of the VC-310 is too high after several full-power
flashes, the flash will enter the overheating protection mode. The thermal warning indicator [TP-HI] will appear
on the LCD, and you should let the flash cool down for a period of 2–5 minutes.
LED preview and focusing:
There are three LEDs built into the flash head that can be used as a preview
light, to illuminate the subject for reference, or as an autofocus assist light, to help the camera focus when the
scene is too dim.
Using the LEDs as a preview light:
VC-310SMI and VC-310OP:
Press the power button while the flash is on. To turn the preview light off, press
the power button again.
VC-310F:
Press the F2 function button to turn the preview light on and off.
The LEDs will function as an autofocus assist light whenever you press the camera’s shutter release halfway.
Modeling flash:
The modeling flash fires a burst of several flashes to show you where unwanted shadows
occur in your setup. Press and hold the Test button for more than two seconds.
Default setting:
You can restore the flash to its original settings.
