Using the Manual Flash Mode

1. Set the mode selector to On.
2. Set your camera to either manual or aperture-priority mode.
3. Set the exposure on your camera. The correct exposure can be determined two ways:
A. By using the exposure chart on the back of the VS-210 (see below)
B. By firing a test flash and metering it with a handheld light meter. Refer to your light meter’s manual
for the correct metering procedure.
4. Press your camera’s shutter-release button to take the picture.
Note:
When setting the shutter speed in manual mode, the setting will only affect the background. Using a
slower shutter will make the background behind your subject brighter and increase background or motion blur,
while a faster shutter will keep the background sharp but make it appear darker if it is beyond the flash range.
Do not set the shutter speed faster than your camera’s maximum sync speed, or black bars might appear in
your images. Refer to your camera’s manual for more information about this.
