The flash head can be extended or retracted manually to match the lens
focal length. As the focal length of EF lenses and EF-S lenses differs,
extend or retract the flash head while referring to the table below (the
flash head position in relationship to the lens focal length).
When using an EF-S lens with a focal
length of 32mm or longer or an EF
lens with a focal length of 50mm or
longer, extend the flash head for
greater flash output and longer flash
range.
When the flash head is extended, the
<
TELE > lamp on the Speedlite lights
or blinks.
When the < TELE > lamp blinks, retract
the flash head to its normal position. If
you take a picture while the <
TELE >
lamp is blinking, the periphery of the
picture may appear dark.
